It's created a kludgy product that's immune from criticism.
It positioned Glass in such a way that it gets to deflect all critiques, keeping the door open for the possibility that it's created a world-changing product despite ample evidence to the contrary.
Last week, I wrote a post that pointed out how reviews of Google Glass were actually quite negative, despite the overwhelmingly positive buzz about Glass.
My theory is that people are desperate for a new gadget, since we've gone three years since the launch of the iPad, thus they're latching on to Glass, hoping it's a world changer.
Also, I believe people are afraid to say Glass isn't going to be the next iPhone. They're scared they're going to be ridiculed in twenty years when everyone is wearing Glass.
If you're critical of Glass, as I was, you get attacked for being small minded.
