You could argue that's just because those things never hit critical mass. People checking their palm pilot calendar was doofey. People checking their smart phone calendar is normal.

The devil is in the details. Styluses were too slow as input, and the device was separate from the main comms device.
The social pressure of always being video recorded could be interesting. Same pressure you feel writing something on facebook: "What will my Mom think of this comment..." Now you see someone with Google Glass show up at the party and it's time to put your video persona on (and your pants).
Seriously, the bluetooth earpiece quickly became a universal symbol for pompous idiot. Much like the Segway is a well understood symbol of doofy nerd-dom. I will be very surprised if Google Glass wearers don't fall into one or both of those categories real fast. Until wearable computing gets MUCH more seamless, I think there will be social pressure on people who use it.
