It would be arrogant if you were the one deciding it.
But, fortunately, it's history and future generations that will decide
whether you were worth of all the effort.
It's like Anne Frank and her diary.
She never had the intention to write a literary account of the
Holocaust, but the deeply personal nature of her writings and her
eventual fate made that diary into an historic document.

Some people may gain everlasting fame (or notority), but every medium
produced them (remember Nixon's defeat in that famous pre-election TV
interview with Kennedy?).

If it's your intention to gain everlasting fame by using a wearable
computer I think you missed the whole point.
Wearable computers are not for an elite to gain fame, but are supposed
to be what TV's, lamps, pots and pans or underwear are...: average,
everyday and for everyman.

I spoke to God this morning and he doesn't like you.
