Re: How about wait a little longer until it's cheaper...?
@afwriter How are you findng Echo? What do you use it for? I'm planning an article on voice activation tech, so I'm wondering what people are doing with it in the real world.

@elizabethv you might be thinking of this: http://creativity-online.com/work/expedia-st-jude-dream-adventures/46075
The "St. Jude Dream Adventures" campaign consisted of a temporary 360-degree installation at the hospital that "transported" the children to Cordoba and Talampaya Park in Argentina, Monkey Jungle in Florida and the Great Maya Reef in Mexico. In it, they experienced the locations' natural wonders -- from fossils to colorful sea-life to wily monkeys -- in real time. Expedia employees whose own lives had been affected by serious illneses were on location as personal tour guides to show the kids the sites.

I absolutely love it. I use it for music, traffic, weather, and creating a shopping list right now. I am about to install a compatible thermostat and light switches so I am super excited about that!

I thought the consumer version of Google Glass was dead, but there's still an enterprise version that's working and gaining some traction... so I'm not counting GG as a complete failure just yet.

Re: How about wait a little longer until it's cheaper...?
@mhhf1ve it all depends on how Google spins the story. Clearly it was intended to be a consumer product. I'm not sure how accurate the Wikipedia take is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Glass, It indicates that the company did shift direction in filing a new patent at the end of 2015. Of course, Google could quote Edison in saying that it's not failure so much as finding the way to go.
