| Why do they call the smart glasses when they just send everything to the smart phone? Nothing is done on device. |

| They're also called smartwatches, when most of them are pretty useless without a phone. Even if they offload everything to the phone, they're still much "smarter" than normal glasses, which just sit there doing nothing but correcting vision. |
