    Get this, I can also look it up on the already insanely powerful phone in my pocket, see the options with my own eyes, look at the map so I know where I’m going, and make my decisions on my own because I’m not an adult baby who needs his sunnies to tell him what to do.

      But what if your hands are occupied, carrying shopping bags or eating a sandwich on the go? These things have legitimate use

        Put your shopping bags down? Plan ahead?

        I swear to god, you people are so intensely lazy. It is not in any way worth it, the damage these glasses for the mentally impotent are currently causing isn’t worth it and it will never be worth it. You’re acting like if I sent you back to 2002 you’d fucking die in three-to-five business days.

        So pathetic.

          Nobody is saying its necessary for survival. Yes, we can go back to the 1800s and still survive. That doesn’t mean computers are bad. Whether or not it’s “worth it” remains to be seen, since these things were only just released

            Congratulations on not understanding the basic literary device of exaggeration for the expression of a point.

            We know that it’s not worth it right now and if you need help understanding that then we are well and truly fucked.

              So you’re argument ends up being “It’s not worth it, obviously”. Unfortunately “it’s obvious” is not a valid argument, especially for a technology that is only just becoming viable. And if you are too lazy or incapable to present actual evidence just say so.

                It’s like you only just learned how to read and still can’t quite figure out what the words actually mean. I have better things to do than argue with functionally illiterate.

                  Don’t worry, you’re not arguing, because you literally stopped contributing anything relevant to the glasses about 2 comments ago.

                  There’s plenty of cases where the glasses save effort, I just listed a few off the top of my head. And clearly you agree since you said it’s “lazy” and “not worth it”, implying that yes, it does save effort. But since you never specified what downsides you are referencing when you say “not worth it”, your defense is meaningless
