I went to the link in Civ’s post #1.
It appears they’ve got spectacles that will make phones obsolete (someday). You can see stuff in the lenses, that you now see in your phone. Problems (aside from walking around almost blind, tripping over things, getting run over...) problems include the fact that right now these glasses are not repairable and they cost around $1000. If you even scratch the lenses (like by falling over something you should have been watching out for) you can’t get replacement parts. Yet.
People will someday be driving cars while wearing these things, and they will be justly darwinized...so, there’s that.

What?!? Everything has to have a *purpose* now?!? 😁 Home computers (as we used to call them) produced a similar reaction at one time. They are (intended as) a way to dispense with having to carry a phone -- voice calls, maps/navigation, and search engines will be available while wearing these, unobtrusive (apart from the appearance, wooo are they ugly), and probably 90 minutes of battery life. All for the low low price of... 💰
