Apple picker In recent months, tech giant Google's Glass project has been hailed as the future of computing and then brought down as a fad of California's not-so-practical IT futurism. The fact is that this is a product that is still in development, and until enough software is built for it, it will remain what it is now - an interesting idea without the necessary implementation. However, in general, the product was received with great enthusiasm in the IT community, although Google Glass still has a long way to go and there are already discussions about the serious problems facing the project.
The project is not new in the computer world. He certainly wouldn't be new to Steve Jobs. He recalled his reaction to similar technology your blog Jeff Soto, then an audio test engineer at Apple:
“As soon as I saw the presentation video for Google Glass, I immediately remembered a funny story from my days at Apple. I was at a company meeting at the Town Hall in Cupertino where Steve Jobs was commenting on these "wearable" technologies. One employee asked Steve the question 'How do we approach management if we have a very good idea?'. Steve immediately put him on stage to present his idea to him and everyone in the room. Presentation option for Steve Jobs. What?
The employee began to explain the idea of glasses that you can use as a display to show different kinds of information. Something like Robocop. He went on to present how he would imagine accessing his information if he went out for a run, for example. Remember he was explaining this in front of a room full of people. Jobs immediately sent his idea to the bottom. He told him he probably would have tripped and fallen immediately. At the same time, Steve suggested that the employee should find a girlfriend so that he would have some company the next time he went out for a run.'
From this we can deduce at least an approximate opinion of Jobs on similar technologies. However, it cannot be argued, based on this information, that Apple would never develop similar technologies. Remember how Jobs rejected the idea of video-playing iPods or miniaturized tablets.
and so said Jobs, whose words will be carved in stone, apple. Actually, amen.
I find the concept of glasses ala Google Glass as useful as the voice assistant on the phone (Siri).
It depends on how the person explained it, but basically Jobs was right. When we know that what he rejected was a great idea the other day. It's not bad, but when it's without glasses :)
pan_diskuter: if you mean Siri without Czech, then definitely.
