Great topic.
Firstly, those glasses are bloody awful, I wouldn’t wear anything like that. I don’t think they are practical for someone like me, I use my phone lots but for short periods of time. Putting glasses on and off isn’t as convenient as whipping a phone out of my pocket.
Manufactures have spent the last decade squeezing features behind the screens of our phones, and the marketing gurus have done a great job of convincing us we can’t live without it.
Its discrete, convenient, high quality, interactive, quick to respond and works.
I find it hard to see how things will move forward beyond the device as we know it, it’s so ingrained in our lives so I don’t think it will change much. Just like TV’s, they have evolved a lot, but really they haven’t changed at all.
If what we have now is replaced it will be with some kind of wearable tech. Im thinking a watch maybe that projects images and is interactive for data input and bone conducting technology for audio.
Wherever the next step takes us, I’ll be intrigued and watching closely, albeit with a cynical eye.
