Looking back at formerly game-changing ideas, name one that you had high hopes for, but did not work?

Google Glasses had the allure of a game-changing technology, especially within healthcare, but ultimately they fizzled. However, despite not materializing like people envisioned, they did get our developers thinking outside of the box. In healthcare, new technologies come and go, so the challenge, oftentimes, is identifying fads and advising clients on effective tactics that meet brand objectives while keeping them ahead of the curve.
