@libshipwreck You CAN blame the failure of Google Glass on design + approval by engineers, not by a skilled, experienced Product Design group that included engineers.
@rfhirschfeld Are you familiar with the history of the distribution layer for grain, and the processing layer for meats?
This book described the grain trade from the US to the world decades ago. The consolidation and control are much stronger today:
"Merchants of Grain" by Dan Morgan
@bytemarknc @markgurman The underlying benefit is always-on personal federated awareness that continuously models your n-dimensional realtime state
That bifurcates into an assistant and generally improved realtime resilience
@JustRouzbeh@markgurman Add:
More non-visual sensors
Voice and/or gesture, in addition to 1-tap
Single-user, always
On-device encrypted data + models only; no backup
ML, not LLM 'ai'
Primacy of audio display
...or as I titled it ~2010: 'Devices That Learn You.'
@markgurman Nice to see Apple connecting some of the dots on the path to private, secure, federated wearables for personal resilience.
