Everybody would love wearing Apple Glasses. Would probably look really cool.

I remember seeing AirPods in somebody's ears for the first time. "What a dork" I thought back then. Now they're cool and everywhere.



I would not love wearing them. I waste a significant amount of money on contact lenses each year for the privilege of not having to wear anything on my face.


> Now they're cool and everywhere.

One of these things is true.


There is a difference between the subjective and objective "cool." They've sold something like 150 million pairs of Airpods? I think that qualifies as objectively "cool."


Another heuristic is: are the majority of attractive and young people using/buying/doing it?

AirPods are cool by that measure as well.


If lots of people are doing or buying something, that’s a signal that it isn’t cool.
