I’m a Google Glass skeptic and think it’ll be the next Apple Newton | @andrewchen | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Recently I tweeted the following: i’m a google glass skeptic. Who’s with me?

 

Turns out most people think Google Glass is going to be awesome. Frankly, I was surprised- I figured it would be more balanced.

 

But it turns out that people are more excited about the idea of Glass than any particular use case. And I’m excited about the product category too, but think the v1 might suck.

 

Google Glass is the new Apple Newton.

 

One day wearable computing glasses may turn out awesome, but I’m convinced that the Google Glass will be like the Apple Newton- a visionary product well ahead of its time, and maybe 10 years after its release, someone will figure out how to make it mainstream using a different design....
