META Glasses have been a godsend for my elderly mother-in-law, who is visually impaired and slowly losing her sight. They can read labels for her, answer spoken questions (she can’t use a computer), play music, help her locate items in her immediate surroundings, and even handle phone calls. She’s gradually discovering new ways to use them.
It would be even better if they could integrate with smart home systems—such as turning on lights, adjusting the thermostat, or providing reminders for appointments, etc. There’s enormous potential for devices like this to serve the elderly and the visually impaired. My father-in-law was so impressed, he bought himself a pair even though he doesn't need any assistance.
Is this maybe the play? Facebook has an aging user base, maybe it makes sense for them to target older people who have trouble using traditional computers or smartphones?
We'll see. Even if Zuckerberg's nonsense about "superintelligence" comes true, I'm willing to bet that in a world where everyone is wearing AI glasses, I'll have the advantage by not.
From the man who recently tried to convince you, himself, and his shareholders that if you didn't buy in the crypto-driven VR world he never really created, you would be at a disadvantage.
I can't wait to see the next hole he throws a few billion down.
