It&#x27;s interesting that new devices always have a ratio of &quot;cool factor&quot; vs dorky, show-off or elitist (partly due to jealousy as well as actual dorkiness). The iPhone for example, I&#x27;d sa initially had about 90% cool factor, and about 10% of the negative. It&#x27;s evolved to where probably only a tiny minority of people consider an iPhone to be dorky.<p>Google glass, on the other hand, seems in my observation to have launched with about 25% cool factor and 75% dorky, show-off, elitist kinda vibe to it. It devolved from there.<p>Despite Apple&#x27;s reputation for coolness, the watch seems like it&#x27;s at about 50&#x2F;50 on the scale at best. I love technology and probably have a reputable score on the dorkiness scale myself. But, when I see Apple watches, they even seem a bit much for me.
