Never have even heard of the word before.

Never have even heard of the word before.
- swiftcoder 5mo agoThe term is nearly old enough to have a driving license - google glass came out 14 years ago
- infecto 5mo agoAhh maybe that’s it. Old slang that’s not used often enough these days.
- swiftcoder 5mo agoGood luck reading an article about Meta Raybans without running into the term. That said, the whole smartglasses thing seems to be pretty dead as a concept - at least in part because public opinion is not on the side of folks wandering around with stealthy cameras on their faces
- infecto 5mo agoI have actually looked into meta glasses a number of times. Never saw the term. Learn something new everyday thanks for sharing this old term with the group!
- sigzero 5mo agoThen you haven't been paying attention.
- infecto 5mo agoMaybe you are in bubble? Looks like it’s really old slang and I have not heard that word in the last decade in Silicon Valley or elsewhere.
- iamnothere 5mo agoIt was never common slang. A few journalists tried to force it to be “a thing” but it never caught on, because forced memes never work. (I do hate camera glasses though.)
- layer8 5mo agoIt has had a revival with the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. I don't know about Silicon Valley, but you frequently see it in tech-oriented forums when the topic comes up.
