Eight months after Google Glass was released and it’s becoming ever clearer that the device was doomed from the start. Fore one, the devices are too hard to acquire and have a hefty price tag. Not to mention the fact that there aren’t enough apps and that the user interface can’t even handle lots of apps.
First, I love headlines that stretch the truth a bit. No one outside of Google got their Glass before March of last year. I got mine on the second day they were available, which was April 15th. So Mathew Honan we really have had Glass, for, what, eight months now? Not quite a year, but that’s just me being picky. But Google Glass is doomed. Why do I say that? Because the tech press tells me so. Now that we got that out of the way, what have I learned in my eight months of wearing Glass?
