And they electronically replaced the exact function of a typewriter. Smartglasses are not electronically replacing the function of glasses - vision correction. So this analogy is not appropriate.

They supplanted typewriters, with their function as one of many. As the “smartphone” supplanted the mobile phone. I’ll quote Steve Jobs here: “An iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator.” Equal billing. A fusion. It’s still called a phone only for lack of a better new name.

When the average person goes to buy a new phone, they buy a smartphone. Do you think within the next 10 years when the average person goes out to buy a new pair of prescriptions glasses they will by default buy smartglasses?

Within ten years? Yes. Yes I do. Or at least that the average first-world person will own a pair and that, if necessary, they will have corrective lenses. Will people still buy conventional glasses? Of course. Of my watches, not many are smart. I wear the “dumb” ones sometimes.

I dont believe they will achieve that level of adoption - A large number certainly but not current smartphone levels of ubiquity (I think phone variants will still be v common) and for vision correction standard glasses will remain dominant. But we will see.

Indeed we shall. I’m notoriously over-optimistic about timeframes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me too and once 5G becomes ubiquitous, which is seven years away, EVERYTHING will change because new types of devices will be possible that have everything in storage and will be very cheap. And that's not the only disruption happening. By late 2021, though, we will have a taste.

The glasses will keep getting better for many years. The Spatial Computing industry is at the beginning. It's like getting an Apple II back in 1977. If you were back then predicting how personal computing would play out, what would you have predicted?

something Sci-Fi and dystopian most likely.

I'm already living in a sci-fi world. My @june oven automatically cooks its food by using cameras and an NVIdia card. My car automatically drives. My phone collects trillions of packets flying through the air to play videos.
