Good Google Glass review

I don't see myself running out and buying a pair.

It maybe a myth, but having a computer processor that close to your brain 8 - 12 hours a day CANNOT be a good thing.

1,500 bucks, nope, not me. I do like the directions though.

Good point about the safety. Have not seen the case's specs yet - just general capabilities. Shielding needs to be bulletproof IMHO.

Thin film lead foil laminate would be best but then environmental concerns may abound about future disposal.

Doubtful, I just thought it was interesting to see what it actually did.

Okay, for educational purposes I can see the many benefits. A doctor can operate on a patient and allow other doctors to see his technique and also ask questions for advice. An astronaut can walk the moon, a soldier in training can be monitored (kind of like a walking drone). So in all, this is a pretty nifty idea. I'd likely wait a few years for the prices to come down as for the mobile application I can see its use.

Thanks for sharing the vid!!

It will definitely be built into ordinary looking glasses.

The same goofballs that walk around with their Bluetooths on all the time will see this as another style accesory.

So there seems to be a specific industry showing a lot of interests in this Google glass . . .
