Oh the technology! It’s such a crazy world that we life in, in terms of technology as of late. These new Google glasses seem to be the latest, greatest thing, but I honestly cannot say that I am convinced.  It seems as though as technology advances, people become more and more lazy, and this one just seems stupid to me. Like, if you want a picture of something, is it honestly that hard to pull out your phone and take a picture? The same with social media. If you want to tweet, is it THAT hard to pull out your smart phone and tweet? You might say, “Well what if we don’t have a smart phone?” But let’s be honest, the people who invest the money into this kind of product are the same people who are up to date with 500 dollar smart phones. It seems that this product is for the people who are too lazy to reach into their pocket and grab their phone to accomplish what ever task it is that they wish. It’s ironic too, with the way that social media works in this situation. When the first people experience this product, they will most likely be telling the world how they feel about it, via Facebook, Twitter, etc.  So in a way, the sales of this product could very easily be determined by how the first people using the product like it. And then at the very least, it seems as though it could easily be distracting, just as phones are now. It is likely that people will be wearing these when driving, and that’s just bad news. It’s also harder to control this, simply because the device looks like a pair of glasses, and cops aren’t going to pull people over in suspicion that they are using their glasses. And how would they be able to tell anyway?
