A Look at Vaunt, Intel's Smart Glasses That Use Retinal Projection To Put a Display in Your Eyeball (theverge.com)
Chipmaker Intel is eyeing the smart glasses market, too. The Verge was invited to the company's lab where it got to play with Vaunt, a prototype of the company's smart glasses. The Vaunt looks very much like a normal pair of glasses, and uses retinal projection to put a display in your eyeball. The Verge: The most important parts of Intel's new Vaunt smart glasses are the pieces that were left out. There is no camera to creep people out, no button to push, no gesture area to swipe, no glowing LCD screen, no weird arm floating in front of the lens, no speaker, and no microphone (for now). From the outside, the Vaunt glasses look just like eyeglasses. When you're wearing them, you see a stream of information on what looks like a screen -- but it's actually being projected onto your retina.

Yes, a perfectly valid use case — for any "blue collar" worker, whose hands may legitimately be dirty during work. Whoever he works for.
And then your inner Che Guevara tilted your hand and you went on an anti-Capitalism rant.
And a completely misguided rant it is, because auto-repair shops in the US are overwhelmingly privately owned. With the exception of a few franchises (like Midas or Meineke) — and even those are usually owned by the franchisee — there is no CEO to speak of.
I don't see, where the "27/7" comes from, but we certainly should aim for being as productive as possible while we are working. If a simple electronic gizmo can help it — marvelous.

You young whippersnappers. We played space quest on a CGA cards on 160*100 16 color mode and we liked it.
