Dropped "being involved" in what I want to do to "doing" what I want to do. This involved moving to New York and running my own web consultancy, which failed miserably. Still a great decision.
I agree that glasses are the ultimate direction that mobile devices and AR are heading towards, but I don’t think holding a device up in the air is the worst interaction (compared to something strapped to your face with VR, even a helmet might be better?)
I think holding a device in the air and shining it around has a natural feel similar to a magnifying glass or a flashlight. More intuitive and not as intrusive. That’s just my opinion though.
It's true that loading fast and giving you the info you wanted directly from the search results page is a good thing. It is also important to realize there's a trade off happening where you're further locked into Google and their ecosystem. It's a pretty dramatic change to the way search has worked up until now. It more mimics the way internal webviews work in Apps like Twitter and Facebook apps.

How am I locked in? Google isn't the authoritative host of AMP content, nor are they the only party running an AMP cache, nor does the existence of an AMP copy of a page prevent me from accessing the regular web copy.
If I'm reading this correctly, out of date versions of chrome (>10 weeks old) simply weren't loading sites like https://www.amazon.com/
This exact issue was affecting my girlfriend's machine a few days ago. I restarted chrome to update and the problem went away. At the time, I just thought it was an overly pushy new feature by google to force people to update.
