I used an iPad for a few years especially as my Internet access and document management tool when travelling. Like Mike, when the Apple Silicon MacBooks arrived I switched and gave my iPad away. I audit classes at our local Ivy League university and see a large number of students taking notes on iPads with the Apple pencil. As Mike also said, reading and writing are productive uses for the device. Perhaps this is why Apple has not given the MacBook a touch screen.
I would wear AI glasses but not until the UI is far better and certainly not from Meta or Google.
While I didn't watch on AI glasses, would have liked to. I'm sitting on the couch watching Football and listening/watching the podcast on my phone while it pipes the audio directly to my BT enabled hearing aid. So, I I could have watched you and Football at the same time instead of looking up and down, that would be amazing. If I then also have AI listening when I said, "is that thunder?" And answer me, "yes a severe storm is heading your way." Or again, im watching football, "wow, who, just caught that?" Bam, stats, name etc... Or with my Granddaughter today, "when is your Christmas pagent? " "Dec 6, ok I'll be there." (Add to calendar) I can do this now with my phone but to remove the extra steps will be amazing. I work in software. Everything is about less clicks. Great discussion.
Once the glasses technology gets small enough that it can be embedded into anything I can see this.taking off. To Mike's point once a celebrity or athlete starts wearing this tech it will take off. I can see gopro adapting this technology to take their cameras to the next level.

Thank you, Bernard. Do you by chance read with an eInk ebook reader?
No, I don’t have one. I will read a book on my iMac but I prefer paper.
