add those to a long line of things no one asked for or will buy, like tablets, ipods, and the metaverse.

Are you actually trying to say no one bought iPods or tablets?

iPod's were literally the hottest piece of tech in the world in their heyday

Yeah, ipods wasnt the best example for me to use. the world was supposed to be taken over by tablets and they came and went. And the metaverse. And google glasses. It seems like futurists get it wrong a lot. And I think apple's glasses will inevitably fit in there too.

Screens are stale and old from a product managers perspective but they do the job better than glasses probably ever will. I will furusit predict myself that glasses will ultimately fail to be adopted.
