As cool as it is i dont like it. Useful but I think this would ruin social barriers when u hear random ppl talking out loud to themselves or thinking they're talking to u. Example. Where is mcmaster? u turn around to tell them but they already walked away cause google maps did it for them. This combined with bluetooths would really piss me off
Thoughts?

How would this work with people who wear glasses?

I'm pretty sure you would be able to make the glasses prescription. If it's like the window TV then it's just an transparent OLED screen on top of glass.

I think it's an ingenious plan by the bespectacled folk at Google to slowly make everyone one of them.

It's what the Terminator machines use on their days off.

We could program to be like the energy level things in DBZ. Go around looking at stuff and saying IT'S OVER 9000

mega eye strain

mega head ache!!

Having trouble embedding the Youtube vid. Just click here.

I dislike them. I like having time where I'm not "plugged in". If I wanted to make nature and a walk outside the equivalent of a video game, I'd just play one. Might as well have a little health bar on the top right hand corner and a list of how much magic I've collected so far.

I also have never and will never have the need to update somebody when I stop for a coffee "just because". Imagine all the times you stop at Tim Hortons, or a quick place to eat, every day. Now imagine the people you have on Glasses sharing that information with you...all the time. That they "checked into Tims at 10:50" and "checked out at 10:53". IMO, it's an unnecessary overload of pointless information that prevents you from ever "unplugging".

I see where you're coming from, but at the same time it's really the minority of social network users that update continuously, is it not? How many people in your social circle tweet every fracking thing about their day? I would suspect not the majority.

The same will apply to this. Just because you have it, doesn't mean you'll be updating your fb status or tweeting every three seconds.

There is literally no difference between this, and the average smart phone. The same data is accessible except it's easier to access and presented in a way that supplements your vision instead of outright using all of your attention (in whipping out a phone, hitting a few buttons and finding what you're looking for).

In the coming years we definitely will be in complete solidarity due to technology (it's already happening!) but that die has already been cast with the introduction of mobile data using smart phones and social networking, not google glasses.

As cool as these are, you still have to remove your focus from whatever you are doing in order to use it so its not that much better then a smart phone.

It seems like futurama got to this first:

Can't fight the changes that will inevitibly come, roll with it or be swept under!
