No one will use Google Glass because they can do everything on a Smartphone without looking like a dork.

- Encosia 13y agoYou could have said something similar about using smartphones too, less than 10 years ago.
- sinnerswing 13y agosmartphones 10 yrs ago = nerdy google glasses = dorky
- Encosia 13y agoSurely you don't believe the sort of people judging someone for what gadget they hold or wear makes such a fine distinction between those two things.
- evv 13y agoNot exactly. 10 years ago, there was no competitor to the smartphone which allowed you to use the internet on the go.

- Encosia 13y ago10 years ago, I was building WAP websites specifically for the large majority of people who felt uncomfortable strapping a BlackBerry or Windows Mobile phone holster to their belt, preferring to suffer through the painful experience on more stylish phones like the Motorola Razr instead. A smartphone wasn't necessary to access the data at that point, but made consumption and creation much more readily available, just like Google Glass does today. It's hard to remember that previous status quo in a post-iPhone world, but the people walking around with a BlackBerry in a belt holster then weren't unlike the people wearing Google Glass now.
