That wasn't what killed Google Glass. What killed it was what kills many things. They're a solution in search of a problem. Outside of a narrow range of possible practical uses, who, and why, would anyone wear them? Most of my life I didn't need to wear glasses. Now I have to and I hate it. No one who wears glasses wants to do so. Why would anyone who doesn't need to wear them, do so? The same pundits who promoted things like GG (and AR and VR) are the same geniuses who proclaimed 3D would die because no one wanted to wear 3D glasses, while ignoring the fact most people don't want to wear those VR/AR HEADSETS... or Google Glass. Then there's the crass invasion of privacy Google Glass presented to others in the vicinity of someone wearing them. Rumor has it that Apple is working on some sort of AR eye wear. I could be wrong (I was wrong about the iPod flopping), but as a 30+ year Apple user, I doubt even they can convince people to wear something they don't normally wear.

I still think this was a missed opportunity and the project was killed off based on fears around privacy rather than the tech being bad. I'd love heads-up display directions when I'm walking somewhere or an email/text that I can view in the corner of my eye without getting the phone out... having said that, I'm convinced a lot of people would just photograph pretty girls so maybe it was for the better.

Here Are 30 Things That Were Supposed To Be The Next Big Thing, But Ended Up Forgotten, As Shared By People Online This one might be a bit obscure just because I've only ever met one other person familiar with it, but Google's Project Ara modular smartphone was looking like it could've been the end all be all of smartphones.

Based off the Phonebloks idea of having a Lego-like hot-swappable module phone, the idea was that you could switch out any components of the phone on the fly. Camera, fingerprint scanner, even different quality screens. Conceptually, it really looked like it could take over the phone market, as it would lead to people not having to buy whole new phones anymore, but rather replacement or upgraded parts to a phone they already liked, thereby reducing costs and increasing utility.

You don't want a phone with 5 cameras that inflate the cost unnecessarily? Just buy a one camera module. You want a 1440P Super Amoled screen to replace your 720P regular screen? Buy one and swap it in.

However, like many Google projects, it died off for myriad reasons and the longstanding era of $1000 dollar smartphone slabs lived on.

Hydrogen cars were a promising new form of motorized vehicle. They were supposed to be incredibly good for the environment, emitting only water as the exhaust. They exist, but not like how some people imagined. I was a pretty big hydrogen car believer at the time. There are some hydrogen stations, but mostly centered around California. Thing is that the hydrogen is quite expensive and not very efficient compared to smaller engines, hybrids, and EV’s. The hydrogen is also somewhat inefficient to produce, store, and distribute as well.

You can actually get a hydrogen car though, they’re out there. The Toyota Mirai is a really good example. Out of all hydrogen cars, that one is definitely most popular. In fact, Toyota pays for $15,000 worth of hydrogen in your first few years of ownership since it’s so expensive. This means that for your first 3-ish years of owning one, you might not have to pay a penny in fuel. As you can see I’m still a hydrogen advocate. Don’t expect to be able to take it very far from your nearest hydrogen station though.

hat streaming service that lasted like two months. ‘Qubi’ or ‘Qupi’ I think?

Even bad timing aside (a mobile based streaming service at a time when no one could really leave their house) the marketing was just horrible. I saw ads for it for nearly a week before I realized it was a new video streaming service, and by that point was so annoyed by the ads untrusting everything I didn’t care at all, just out of spite. Also I mean it was just YouTube you have to pay for and got worse content.

EDIT: it was Quibi. It made so little impact I couldn’t recall at first.

Smart diapers!

I’m pretty sure Pampers sells them but imagine it won’t be long before they’re discontinued.

It’s an idea that’s been posted on Mommy blogs, childcare forums, magazines, news articles. Every so often I’ll see a story online while doing some childcare research.

I don’t know a single parent, nanny, early childhood educator, caregiver that has or wants to use a smart diaper. The only way I could see it being useful is for night or for a special needs child.

The idea is still being pushed as a “luxury” item for millennials but it’s just nonsense. What’s even funnier is that the tech is almost backwards. Cloth diapering has become insanely popular!

It's not that it flopped, it's that Hideo Kojima ( main developer of P.T. and what would have become Silent Hills) left Konami, and Konami thus cancelled Silent Hills in favour of making pachinko machines. Honestly, since that move, Konami has gone downhill and has, imo, certainly flopped as a company. Silent Hill however, is still popular and many wish for a reveal of a new entry to the series someday, and there have been a few hints over the years but so far nothing, and the SH following has been dissappointed. (but honestly the Silent Hill games, especially 1-4 are some of the best horror games ever made imo)

Released at the height of the tech boom in the late 1990s, the CueCat was a massively expensive failure. Millions of the cat-shaped bar-code scanners were produced and shipped for free across the U.S., in hopes that people would use them to scan specially marked bar codes to visit Internet sites. (How this was easier than a typing a link, the company never did answer.) Despite a much ballyhooed launch, with CueCat codes printed in Wired and BusinessWeek, consumers never got into the idea of reading their magazines next to a wired cat-shaped scanner, and the CueCat became little more than a high-tech paperweight. cuecat-608...1eb66c.jpg

Those community bikes or scooters or whatever they were that showed up by the hundreds in cities a few years ago and littered every corner. Those came and went real fast.
