Life Through Google Glasses
The singularity is near.
Google has talked often about Project Glass, its Internet eyeglasses that offers features similar to a smartphone. But what's it like to wear a pair?
Today the Internet search giant has launched a new website for Glass, including a fascinating video shot from the perspective of an user wearing the glasses.

It's not like they need to fully concentrate on flying the plane or anything?
all the time. The display is just a small part of the visual field with Google's Glasses. They shouldn't interfere with anything you do, but can provide information and capture images and videos. Pretty cool stuff, but not compelling enough for me to buy them.
I love this, but there can be a danger with something that can do everything.
I'm reminded of an old joke. An animal seller brought in an elephant to a circus manager. "His name is 'Nuts' and he will do any trick you ask him to, so long as you say his name after the command."
The manager decided to try him out. "Sit, Nuts." And the elephant immediately sat down. "Hop on one foot while carrying an umbrella, Nuts." And the animal went and got an umbrella and hopped on one of his hind legs. "Make me a lasagna, Nuts." And so Nuts whipped up a gourmet pasta dish.
The astonished manager paid everything and then some for the new addition to his Big Top.
During the next night's performance, the manager was sitting at his office desk when the elephant trainer came storming in. The trainer was soaking wet and totally livid. "Somebody out in the audience kept shouting, PEANUTS!"
