    For smart glasses to be adopted they really need to be executed perfectly. No one wants to fuss around with anything on their face and directly affecting their vision. I don’t see the hardware and software worked out smoothly enough for this to be popular for at least another three years. Save a sock for me, I’m on record saying this isn’t happening on any kind of large scale in 2025.

      Cost is also a big thing. With tariffs on Chinese tech goods coming into effect and the fact that everything has gone up in price, like necessary things like groceries (plus the very high likelihood of inflation/greedflation continuing to strangle non-rich people), it’s a recipe for people to hang onto their money, not feel safe to spend it.

      Unless they say somehow heavily subsidize it with ads and/or some kind of government fund hackery, I think we’re all safe from sock-mouth.
