Remember Snapchat?
The app best known for being the place to send disappearing photos and videos to your friends?
Well, Snapchat was back in the news recently, but this time it was not about disappearing photos and videos.
It was about smart glasses that you put and keep on your face.
Snapchat was trying to get in on the game with a pair of black, horn-rimmed looking spectacles.
Think the pair that the old man in Up wears, but like three times thicker and with a price tag of $2,195.
Photos of Snap CEO Evan Spiegel wearing his specs, that's what they're called by the way, specs, were all over the internet and not in a good way.
People were laughing.
And they laughed all the way over the stock market where Snap took a hit.
But as you're going to hear on today's Explain From Box, Snap's playing the long game with smart glasses and the rest of big tech is too.
Smart glasses are officially here, so we're going to officially talk about them on the show and worry about our privacy.
