What Google Glass Has in Common With an Iconic Apple Fail BY JASON DORRIER Not long ago, I attended two tech conferences. AI, robotics, nanotechnology, and biotechnology—both were future focused. But the most curious thing I saw there wasn’t on stage. It was more subtle, more about negative space. Very few, if any, future junkies in attendance wore Google Glass. It isn’t empirical science, but I can’t think of a better test population for an at-a-glance study. The audience at both events was basically self-selected to be much more interested in Glass than your average cross-section of the population. Indeed, many would have had the skills to be early developers of the technology. Glass users should have been noticeable—instead, they were noticeably absent.
