And do you think they will be mass adopted to replace smartphones once the technology becomes good enough or will the general public revolt against them like they did with google glasses? Meta just released a new pair of smart glasses which lets you have a discreet POV camera ready to film at all times, discreetly listen to music, view a projected screen just by looking to the side which is not observable to others, talk to an always present AI for any thoughts or questions that pop up during the day, discreetly send text messages by drawing letters on your leg, have instant translation for speech or text that pops up in your view, etc…
If you wear smart glasses and try to approach me, I’m ignoring you and walking away. I don’t care who you are, I don’t talk to cyborgs.
If it becomes a huge thing this might age poorly.
I remember when wireless earbuds first came out. The sentiment was the same “You’ll never see me with those because I’ll look like a crazy person talking to themselves.” Now it’s completely normal and society accepts it.
I still think people look mental lol
Yeah when I cross someone in the street using them at first they still look to me like they’re off their meds and talking to sky daddy out loud. It goes faster than before for me to realize “they must have an earbud in” but that’s still my first reaction.
And, honestly, even after I realise I still think they look like a pillock
