I’m not sure how to respond to your post, because it seems to ignore the vast majority of mine, including the parts that look at pretty similar ideas to what you’ve brought up.

Well, I wasn't sure how to respond to yours missing the entire conceit of the post before it, so I guess we're even.

I don’t think I missed anything. Maybe if I’d only posted the bit you quoted that would make sense.

But I also don’t think either of us is gaining anything through this interaction, so... shrug

You're missing the fact that the original comparison with laptops was a bit tongue in cheek

I don’t think I missed anything. But maybe my post was not very clear?

The post I was responding to clearly meant “like smartphones replaced […] laptops,” which is to say, they don’t think AR glasses will replace smartphones (because smartphones didn’t completely replace laptops). I get that.

Then I pointed out that smartphones did more-or-less replace a number of other electronic devices. And there are some reasons they didn’t fully replace laptops. Then I went on to think about the niches that could exist should AR glasses become a major thing.

> which is to say, they don’t think AR glasses will replace smartphones (because smartphones didn’t completely replace laptops). I get that.

I actually read it as "it will be a replacement in some ways, but also very much not be a replacement in many other ways"
