    Google glass. Sounded like we’d all be wearing these glasses that we’d not be able to do without, but even looking back that sounds like such a poor idea. I try to not be on my phone as much as I can, I can’t imagine wearing glasses with an interface in my direct vision constantly, especially when a lot of it would be shit like emails, LinkedIn notifications of people I might know, and my siblings sending me 12 Instagram posts in a row.

        smartwatches are surprisingly good for directions/routing. they vibrate one way for left turns and another way for right turns.

      I wanted to be like the kid from Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide and have a mouse wired up to it. Lol.

      I just wanted to be able to read a book without (possibly) straining my neck :(

      I want smart glasses that are a scaled down smartwatch. Give me like 3 lines of text & a vibration function.

      If I could insert the interface from my Pebble into a pair of glasses I would be content.

      Guess what, they’re already working on the 3rd version.
