Is Glass really the future?

[jackroo]

Does anyone think Glass can be the future of computer wear or is it just a fad? Do you think developers will go for this and develop applications for it? Thoughts? Opinions? Curious as to what you all think..

I don't think it's any more a fad than laptops (they're VERY different now than when they first came out), cellphones (same thing), etc. I think we'll see a totally different device in 10 or 20 years, but still recognizable as a wearable cellphone.

Personally? I'll keep my belt holster and large screen phone. (And I'm not a Luddite - I was walking around talking into a mic connected to a little box [Springfield Enterprises, for anyone old enough to remember] in the late 50s.)

I see what you're saying. I'd be really Interested in the apps for this device and what people can dream up. Guess we'll see

I wonder if this is how the Borg from the Star Trek universe started.

I do believe it's the future of computing in some way. Not the only one, because you won't want to watch a movie on Netflix from Glass.

Don't think I'd really want to be watching a movie with just one eye. Glass is about giving you information rather than entertaining you IMO.

For entertainment, watching movies etc, something like this would be better, and uses both eyes.

Personal theatre glasses. Obviously not going to be walking around with them on, like some kind of wannabe Geordi La Forge....LOL.....but could be great for flights, and other long trips.

I'm replying to this one because it's at the top. But is it true they ended the Google Glass venture? If so, I guess that answers the question.... Until another developer offers an alternative. And one that doesn't cost well over a grand to own.
