It was eight years ago when Google delivered the gadget-man’s wet dream: The Google Glass. My company at the time had a pair so we could try them. It was immediately clear that glasses aren’t the same product as smartphones. The first Google glass UX was very poor. And even if newer “glass” products can solve some issues, they will never fully replace a touch screen.
Arguing that phones will be replaced by glasses, to me, sounds like arguing you’re going to do your office work using Alexa. It just doesn’t make sense.

Very little has happened in smartphone land. (this is also the origin of the "shut up and take my money"-meme)
