Wearables are quickly becoming the next recurring revenue stream for tech companies - but are they also becoming our next primary interface? In this edition of the Web News, Matt and Mike break down the evolution of wearables, from smartphones to smartwatches and fitness rings, and dive deep into the emerging world of smart glasses. With devices like Meta’s Ray-Bans already offering cameras, audio, and AI integrations - and future versions potentially adding heads-up displays (HUDs) - we may be on the verge of a major shift in how we interact with technology. But where do smart glasses actually fit? Are they productivity tools, entertainment devices, or simply another niche like smartwatches? And as AI reduces our need to constantly stare at screens, could wearables become our new “always-on” interface? From digital minimalism to always-connected AI agents, this episode explores whether smart glasses are just another gadget - or the beginning of something much bigger.
Wearables are quickly becoming the next recurring revenue stream for tech companies - after all, they’ve got us upgrading smartphones every few years, and now they’ve found their stride with smartwatches dominating the fitness world.

We’re seeing early attempts at heads-up displays, subtle camera glasses, and even fitness rings - each fighting for relevance.
