Something that was once heavily talked (and criticized) about around 2013-2015 but quickly dwindled from the public's eye after that.
Almost nobody remembers Google Glass anymore, that is unless you randomly happen to stumble upon it by chance and all the memories start flushing back. And if you do remember, Google Glass was honestly quite ahead of its time. It really feels more like a futuristic tech you'd expect to see today than back in 2013.
Hell, now that I think about it, Google Glass is a MUCH more better and useful concept than Zuckerberg's lousy Metaverse.
I read some of the definitions of 'glasshole'; yes, privacy would be a central problem to the Glass, however to be quite frank, to think you can identify some random girl and instantly pull up their FB is pure science-fiction. Perhaps a bit more feasible now, but def not possible back in 2013. Today, the concern is still privacy, but it's on the other end of the horseshoe; not for the privacy of others but of yourself. Zuckerberg's Metaverse (and the entirety of Facebook) is a FAR more heinous offense to privacy than Google Glass.
But overall, the pros of the Google Glass heavily overshadows the con(cern)s. I would LOVE to have an HUD with me at all times, where I can see the time and weather. I honestly hope Google Glass can make a comeback in the 2020s. Just note that if Google made a new one, it would prove far more capable of these privacy-breaking features as todays silicon chips are over 500% faster.

Get the glass stomach mug.When you need a haircut and your hair hangs over the sides of the glasses, and the view of your head straight on looks like a muffin top. Also tiny glasses on a fat person = glasses muffintop.
