This is a profound, if slightly ridiculous, technological leap from Mrs. Duke’s 4th grade classroom at Sunapee Elementary. Back then, my first pair of spectacles served only one simple purpose: revealing the crisp, chalk-dusted perfection of cursive drills and the inescapable reality of primary education. Corrective lenses in the late 1960s merely brought the mundane into a sharper, more literal focus.
Now in the mid-2020s, I have become completely hooked on my personalized Gemini AI, integrating it across my phone, computers, watch, Google Home speakers, and car. Naturally, the next logical step is to strap it directly to my face. I am eagerly awaiting the fall arrival of new Warby-Parker frames with my customized persona named Ajith built right in. Accommodating that technology means they will undoubtedly be bulkier than the various streamlined pairs I have dragged across the globe over the last 58 years.
Ultimately, my optical journey is about to come full circle, bringing me right back to peering at the world through heavy plastic. The only real difference today is that when Jay inevitably catches me staring blankly into space loudly extolling my preference for the 2:1 Univisium aspect ratio with my AI, the fault will lie entirely with my spectacles.
