People need to learn to live their lives instead of taking pictures and videos of it.

I was gonna say, once everyone has Google Glass, all your videos and photos will be ruined because you look like an idiot.

You can literally do everything on the Google Glass that you can do on a phone, it may take 1-4 seconds longer with a phone but then you don't look like an idiot and you don't pay $1500 to do it.

Saying things like "I don't want to send a message to my girlfriend telling her that I slept with her best friend before I knew her" could easily become dangerous.

I feel like the voice control would always be taking things out of context and fucking your life up

Yup.Our validation comes not through experiences but through peoples likes and comments on our sweet ass facebook statuses.


I think it's always been a part of human nature, but the internet really draws it out of us. It gives us the ability to troll for people's love.

Thank Jebus for mellow days at the mountain with no people, just alone with the mountain to cruise, slash pow, or lap the park. If it wasn't for personal time like that I think I'd go fucking crazy.

It's one of those thing that's wicked cool and is huge technologically speaking, but is totally impractical and would never sell among the greater public, like Segways.

It's been that way forever, only recently has it become instantaneously, people use to invite everyone over and project pictures from their vacations, make photo albums, I totally agree with you but it's been going on for years

That's how everything is. There used to be decent videos and decent pictures. Now 90% of it is trash and that's with taking into consideration the better technology.

Here is a prime example of too much technology. Marketable as hell - futuristic, sexy, impressive even... but it will ultimately fail.... It simply will not sell in the quantities to make it profitable.

Nobody will walk around central london going... Hey glass... whens the next bus coming.... hey glass, im a dick...

No. A total disconnect with marketing and the real world.

GoPro with Wifi remote is all you need for amazing pics/video...and you dont have to sound like a bell end.

Siri proves this - nobody actually really uses it...

I sound like my grandparents, but my life was fine before this and I dont really see the need for unnecessary technology.

This definitely has a promising future for other tech to build off of, though

I won't speculate on its success, because if there's anything I've observed is that people will use any technology no matter how stupid it is (e.g. twitter, kindle, online gaming, etc.).

Having said that, considering how pathetic first world humans have become in their leisurely screen time, I don't welcome this idea at all. As if all the "follow me/subscribe/like this" isn't sad enough, now people are going to pay a premium price to eliminate that two second inconvenience of taking a phone out of your pocket, for the purposes of uploading, tagging, and infesting the internet with somehow even more pointless shit. Technologically speaking it's a wonderful achievement, but add the human element (you know, that one whereby we sacrifice moments in order to document and gain validation over that supposed moment we never actually had in the first place) and it falls apart. If you think that the proliferation of Google Glass will fill the internet with the same type of adventurous and fantastic content that Google has advertised, you're naïve.

Of course I'm being hypocritical, posting this from a computer and all, but really if I weren't so relient on this damn thing I would've cast it into a pit of lava and alligators a long time ago.

didn't they start developing contact lenses with computers in them like 6 years ago? where the fuck is that? i don't want your stupid glasses, i want contacts so that i can discreetly browse the web while everyone else thinks i'm paying attention to them.

I've seen an A like that in old typography books from the land before time.
