I pour through hundreds of technology articles every week in order to stay current with as many of the new and upcoming technology products and services as I can. The vast majority of them don’t impress me. Then there’s Google Glass.

I am 100% stoked about this new technology. In fact, I’m going to make a statement right now that I will hopefully refer back to some day to prove I was right. Ready? I think Google Glass will be the next “big thing” we talk about (and stand in line to buy) for at least the next 5-6 years.
Couple of stipulations before my prediction can come true. One, Google has to get this technology to mass market. This will supposedly happen at the end of this year. Two, the price point has to be driven down to make it more affordable. The suggested introductory price for now is rumored to be around $1500 which isn’t going to fly for most people (except me because I simply have to get Google Glass!)
Who’s with me? Will we be talking about Google Glass as much as we talked about the iPhone? Or is this just a fad destined for the black hole of could-have-been-cool technology products?

Interesting that IBM “introduced” a similar technology back in the 80′s. I guess bandwidth issues held it back. Or what about the corning “Day of glass” — Google just buying out the name?
I guess it’s all about timing. We’ll see if Google gets it right.
OK I watched the impressive video but still have no idea what Google Glass is or does other than capture and share video and pics. What am I missing?
Why would I even consider spending $1500 for yet another way to share realtime stuff? Scratching head.
Colleen, it’s more like wearing a mobile computer. You can do Google searches, start Google Hangouts and more. Personally, the video and picture capture were enough to sell me. I would love to take Google Glass on vacation with me and just let it capture the moments instead of having to haul around a camera, smartphone, etc.
Features like having access to Internet etc., yes. Having people inconspicuously videotape me, no.
