Get your Summer outfits ready! Go to #Huckberry: https://bit.ly/speeed--huckberry (they have a Memorial Day Sale going on rn) Not sure what look you want? Look at this list of outfit inspirations: https://bit.ly/speeed-Outfit-Inspiration History is full of "genius" tech that showed up to the party too early and got laughed out the door. So we tested them: The Nintendo Virtual Boy (gave us all a headache). The Apple Newton (which Steve Jobs hated so much he killed it out of spite). Google Glass (GOATED lol). The GM EV1 electric car that GM literally crushed for reasons. (See the EV1 up close, alongside hundreds of other iconic builds, at the Petersen Automotive Museum: https://www.petersen.org/tickets ) AT&T's Picturephone (thanks Connections Museum! https://www.telcomhistory.org/ConnectionsSeattle.html ). IBM's ViaVoice speech recognition. And the Microsoft SPOT Watch --the smartwatch built for Wall Street guys who didn't want one. We break down what actually killed each product: bad technology, bad business, bad marketing, or just bad timing. it's usually all four lol. A mostly-respectable look at innovation, product development, and the billion-dollar investment decisions that went absolutely sideways. Plus the IcyBall, which is exactly what it sounds like.

I really appreciate how this channel just uploads whatever the fuck they want lol. It feels like old YouTube. Mostly my algorithm is just the same echo chamber over and over. But with this channel I get old tech or bicycles or clothes or my main interest cars, it’s coool
The hey meta bit is so fucking funny
Those first glasses look like they might tell you someones power level
Your photoshopped EV-1 on BBS RSes and bags looked sick tbh
My uncle worked on the GM EV1 project!
21:35 hitting an E-cig in the EV-1 would be one hell of a Retro-Futuristic vibe
5:34 He actually activated my android! 🤣🤣

I love how James is also the comic relief character in these deep dive videos 😂 Has me cracking up *and* learning stuff!
not a single "its over 9000!" when wearing the google glass.😄
1:10 "yeah woohoo" 😂😂😂 Wow
Speeed taking us to a museum like a school trip. Highlight of the day so far. Really enjoyed hearing the museum personnel go through the tech.
the most woo hoos in a row, and the least energetic woo hoos in a row thus spaked by man
16:06 “Eat up, Martha.” 😅
When the Google glasses were released a big part of my job was to direct field technicians over the phone how to install networking equipment. My job would have been so much better if the guys "in the field" had Google glasses. I was so psyched, but they never made it here. And are the Meta glasses really a success? I think all they have done is resurrect the word "glasshole".
17:50 James’ favorite mod to do to any car 😂
That EV charger looks like the Ecto-Containment System from Ghost Busters.
25:53 Lol I jumped ngl
literally just the best yt channel lol
The smoking a sig bit in the ev1 is amazing, that’s exactly how I imagine driving a ev1 is.
