- poulpy123 3y agofun fact: I predicted it would flop because as someone who just got eye surgery few year prior I knew that nobody would want to wear glasses all day
- pschuegr 3y agoDon't many people wear glasses all day?
- poulpy123 3y agobecause they don't have choice
- latexr 3y agoI know people who used to wear glasses for fashion (i.e. they didn’t need them and chose to wear them). Contact lenses are also a choice for many who wear glasses, but many prefer the latter due to cost or convenience. Maybe you haven’t worn them long enough, but you do get used to glasses to the point you forget you’re wearing them, leading to events like showering in them or searching for them while they are in your face.
- mcv 3y agoI think the backlash against Google Glass set back the interest in wearable computing. I haven't heard about Steve Mann in a while either.
