Google has stopped producing the current model of its Google Glass wearable device. The company created a lot of buzz around the product, which is basically a small computer mounted on a headgear. But industry experts still believe that Glass has a long way to go before being widely accepted. So how many took advantage of the first wave of Google Glass? And how many are likely to do so in the future?
