Am i missing something or is it like they didn't learn much from the google disaster?
It's like saying that Apple didn't learn anything from Palm when they launched iPhone.

When the necessary technology can be properly miniaturized into glasses format, the revolution will inevitably happen. No matter how many companies failed before, the one that succeeds will have complete new market for itself. It's like saying that Apple didn't learn anything from Palm when they launched iPhone.

People even used to be very excited about tiny computers inside their bodies and brains or uploading their consciousness into some kind of network. Very naive.
The problem is, until we are post-scarcity or post-money (I don't know what that word is), then the incentives are there to abuse a system of brain/computer interface and uploaded consciousness. That being said, I don't believe we can ever really get to post-scarcity or post-money (again, what's the word?) without those two things being integral. Removing the 'negative' from a person's life and allowing them to exist…

The problem is that while those hyperfounded companies are allowed to dump the same products with and recover the costs by some criminal anti-privacy anti-freedom-of-speech anti-individual-initiative and anti-whatever-else-is-on-my-countries-Constitution ring, the market will be poisoned and nobody will be able to make a honest living on it.

Wearing cameras in your glasses must become socially acceptable. It’s hard to see how technology will solve this social problem.

There are dozens of manufacturers building smartphones with camera modules reasonably close to the required form factor. No one yet has figured out the ultra-low-power video recording or ultra-high-power-density battery construction required to put these cameras into a glasses format, but when that does come true I don't see any reason why it will be exclusive to the first one to succeed.
Sure, Facebook does seem to have a stranglehold in some domains due to their network effects and first-mover advantage, but why would that be the case for hardware?

Wouldn't catch me dead in a pair of these.
I would genuinely like a half-decent camera mounted to my glasses. I mean, it's Facebook so it's going to be bad like all of their hardware products, and it'll additionally be tied to Facebook which is a bad thing, but I'm just saying theoretically I wouldn't mind this category of product. Mostly I'd use it to "take notes" when I need a quick shot, rather than taking out my phone camera. I can't tell you how many tim…
And the ability to act like a dash cam for my head and store 'current time - 60 seconds' footage would be nice as well. When in creative meetings, I have a hard time brainstorming while taking coherent notes of any kind. I also don't want to have to sift through the full hour recording to find the nuggets that are in there.
