Tech bros, get ready to level up your digital dependency. Meta just dropped their latest Ray-Ban Display glasses, and they’re basically turning your face into a portable screen that makes your smartphone look like a vintage flip phone.

These aren’t just any glasses - they’re a tiny digital portal strapped directly to your eyeballs, letting you scroll Instagram, read texts, and take video calls without ever touching your phone. At a cool $799, they’re basically saying “I’m too important to look down at a screen”.

The Digital Flex

Mark Zuckerberg claims these glasses are the future of AI interaction, promising to keep you “more present” while simultaneously giving you constant digital stimulation. The irony is chef’s kiss perfect. A neural wristband lets you navigate the display with subtle hand gestures, because apparently, voice commands were too mainstream.

Tech Privacy Circus

Let’s be real - these glasses come with all the privacy concerns of previous smart eyewear. An LED light indicates when you’re recording, but does anyone actually trust Meta with personal data? The “glasshole” era might be making a comeback, complete with awkward social interactions and paranoid side-eye.

The Millennial Dilemma

While Meta claims these glasses will help us be “more present”, we all know they’re just another shiny tech toy designed to keep us perpetually online. Welcome to the future, where your face is literally a walking screen and human connection is just another feature to toggle on and off.
