    The idea of the technology is cool but is this shit utterly unnecessary or what?!

    Dude, if we're gonna turn into cyborgs we gotta take baby steps.
    What is unnecessary today will be replaceable robot body parts tomorrow.

    That's the exact same thing I thought of when I first saw the video. I just figured Google would have enough common sense for that stuff to not come into play.

    So basically, it's a smartphone...that goes on your face...often blocks your vision, and could possibly cause serious injury?

    Yeah, no thanks.

    The human race as we know it is beginning to sacrifice intelligence for ease of obtaining knowledge. Whether or not that's a good thing will be a debate for decades to come.

    The purpose of these glasses is to make everyone look smarter. For years we as mankind have fought for ways to remove excess applications on our faces such as contacts and Lasik laser surgery. But now we [google] are actually trying to add on and apply new things to our faces such as ear rings, nose rings, random spider piercings, venom piercings, and google-killyourself-glasses

    Exactly. Plus, I've always thought real life should look more like a first-person shooter.
