| Google's official site for Project Glass. |
It's apparent that we live in the era of technology.
While we're still a little ways off from living like the Jetsons, we're still looking through the lens of the future...
Literally.
Google introduced "Project Glass" via a blog post and a short video on Wednesday.
What is Project Glass?
Imagine the love child of a smart phone and some glasses: this is Project Glass. Though the project has been in the works for a few years, Google decided to reach out to the public through Google + to see what thoughts and concerns there were.
In the video released by Google, a man finds subway schedule information, arranges a meeting with a friend and video chats - all with the help of the glasses.
When would these be available? There's no set release date, but there's speculation that they wouldn't be made available for another year.
People are constantly tuned in, wehther it's by phone, computer or another device. Can you imagine being tuned in to the web by way of glasses?
The idea raises obvious concerns: how would this contribute to distracted driving accidents? How would this affect one's eye health? Don't we have enough people walking into things already?
In the school setting, instructors have enough trouble keeping students off of their current devices in the classroom. Can you imagine regulating someone's eyewear?
