I didn't at all.
About Smart Phones I roughly said, "Yes, awesome", I already had a taste as I'd been using the Ericsson m600i before the iPhone arrived and it was so damn close... and in many ways that bettered the iPhone for years (it had cut and paste and the iPhone keyboard remains fairly shite even today). It's only really the last 2 years that I've felt smart phones are finally delivering on their promise and that the productivity has gone beyond the older smart phones.... the potential remains largely untapped even with the disruption we've seen.
About Tablets I roughly said, "It'll end up replacing the magazines left in the loo" - and for me they have. I personally think smaller and lightweight laptops like the Air have had more of an impact.
About Kindle I roughly said, "Hell yes, want it now".
About iPod I roughly said, "Can it play FLAC?" and still I use a Cowon.
About Google Glass I roughly said, "What's the point when there is a smart phone in your pocket?".
About Smart Watches I roughly say "What's the point when there is a smart phone in your pocket?".
And about a lapel badge/brooch/pendant in the style of Star Trek/Culture Series... then I'm going to be saying "Hell yes, gimme now" and tolerating whatever rough edges may come with it.
If a Smart Watch evolves into the Star Trek badge... then I'll jump on board, but let's be clear, it wouldn't be the watch element that made me jump on board... it'll be the 100% voice based interface to a very rich IFTTT level of functionality. I'd wear a freaking bluetooth ear piece if it offered this... this is the thing I want.
