9. The Present Sucks, Let's Talk About the Future

Gadgettes

This week, we're optimistically womansplaining the near future, hoping it will make us forget the disaster that has been 2021. First, Caitlin and Flo recall the debut of Google Glass and why Apple might make us forget all about "glassholes" with its rumored mixed reality headset in 2022. Then Gizmodo reporter Brianna Provenzano joins us to talk about Facebook's smart glasses, developed in partnership with Ray-Ban, and why looking like a spy has never been so uncool. Finally, we take a moment to chill out and explore ways to be mindful and zen as the world burns.

What The Prophets Foretold

• Apple's Super-Fast AR/VR Headset Is Expected Late Next Year
• Facebook's Ray-Ban Stories Somehow Make Both Ray-Bans and Spying Less Cool
