really????...sigh...can't wait til everyone on the road is driving like a drunk cause they're all wearing these things with shit popping up everywhere and every twat's yelling to themselves in a public place.

There's a problem when using a bluetooth or a cell phone is seen as too much of a burden. Totally can't wait for the non-stop facebook and twitter updates!!!11!
One person who had used the glasses said: “They let technology get out of your way. If I want to take a picture I don’t have to reach into my pocket and take out my phone; I just press a button at the top of the glasses and that’s it.”

Lol, "Pressing one button on my phone is too hard...wah... :cry: " Jesus. I hate this fucking generation.

Fuck off.

Most people can't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time, society doesn't need brain dead morons wearing shit over their eyes cause they're too fucking lazy to pull their phone of their pocket.

I'm holding out hope this is one of google's april fools pranks.

Well if Google have their way, the cars will be driving themselves in the future anyway.

hey hipster fuckface, remember when people used to ASK?

it seems to be designed to allow people to 'connect' with people far away, while ignoring the people in their immediate vicinity. what a stupid idea

Let's face it, by that time this kind of thing is prevalent shops selling music won't exist anyway.

lol, I'm sure the screen area is exaggerated on google's video, for demonstration purposes, which cannot be well translated on a video. Your natural FOV is much greater than anything your cellphone is offering , so I'm betting the actual GUI is much smaller, and less intrusive, while giving you just as much "screen" space if not more than what you're already used to.

Just look at the glasses... first of all, it's just on one eye, and even then, the glass part only encompasses a small area...the top right quadrant of one eye's FOV.

either way, I'm sure eventually, there will be contact lenses with some serious "content aware" software that will let you have your cake and eat it too.

then a social underclass of small dicks will be created, where by the bigger dick dominates the little dick, creating breeding of the bigger dick, and in the darwinism view the dick will become bigger and bigger through each generation, creating a future planet that is populated by giant dicks.....

....you need to think these things through
