    Default Google Glasses

    Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have reached a point in our technological lives where we can have:
    SMART GLASSES.

    My opinion? It's the most hilariously stupid mind fuck what-the-hell thing that I've ever seen thus far. I mean, smart glasses? Really? Why? And the funniest part is, I actually find them kinda neat in a stupid way. I mean, Google in glasses is a pretty cool concept despite the stupidity.
    Tell me what you think.

    I think they would be kind of annoying, even normal glasses as they are get on my nerves. I also think the censor is not working here on RoR.

    Yeah, I'm a long time glasses wearer, and they get on my nerves occassionally but at least I don't have to charge them as you would these. They're better than contact lenses though
    And yeah, I should stop swearing like a sailor.
    EDIT: This parody brings to light some of the annoyances you would face. And it makes fun of the rediculous concept

    You know what? As rediculous as these are and as expensive as they will be, I find myself wanting them too. Maybe it's the techno appeal. They're just so freaking cool!

    Actually it could be very handy. And it wouldn't blind you because it is just a reflection off of your glasses, so you could see right through it (although it would still be annoying). My thought is -- if you have a reflection that close to your eye, it would likely be completely fuzzy, unless they have some kind of a focal trick to make it seem farther out.

    Wearing regular glasses occassionally is hard on me as it is, I think for as little as I would use them they would be pointless, and I think they would be a ***** to clean

    My brother's been telling me that he saw a prototype in New York City, and to move the selection, it's a couple of buttons at the back of the temple on the left side. He was part of a Google "Pride" parade not too long ago.
