Tacky men with ridiculous glasses want you to wear them too
This opinion piece criticizes the tech industry's push for smart glasses and virtual reality headsets, labeling them as impractical and culturally disconnected. The author argues that Silicon Valley CEOs are forcing unwanted trends on consumers despite clear evidence of low adoption and utility.
Why it matters
It reflects a growing cultural skepticism toward the 'metaverse' and wearable computing trends driven by major tech firms like Meta and Apple.
Meta — the same company that declared in 2021 that by now you d be living in the “metaverse” — sold a few million camera glasses for pervs and, all of a sudden, the next future envisioned by Mark Zuckerberg s unhinged mind is one where we all walk around wearing camera glasses powered by “artificial intelligence.”
The author uses inflammatory language ('tacky men', 'unhinged mind', 'ridiculous') to express a strong anti-tech-industry bias.
