GotGame: So you just plunked down $1500 on a pair of Google Glass and you’re wondering if you just made a big mistake. Well truth be told, Google Glass is a pretty amazing and unique piece of technology but the biggest issue thus far seems to be the reaction people are getting when going out and about with their new glasses. Many journalists who have been able to test them out in the wild have reported many cases of being called a-holes and douchebags both to their faces or behind their backs (but loud enough to still hear it).
Is this the next iteration of Google Glass?
Modern technology is built into new smart glasses now being offered by Waterloo, Canada-based North, formerly Thalmic Labs. Focals feature a transparent holographic display built into its lenses that only the wearer can see.
Google partner Streye is selling Google Glass Enterprise Edition for $1,800.
"780mAh battery" yeah, no thanks. I've seen what batteries do when they overheat; but hopefully they won't have a Samsung situation.
...because there is no reason the average citizen would possibly need a piece of technology like that.
Sure, I can see the various medical and business-related applications. I can even see how this could be used in some recreational activities like hiking and biking.
For general use as a phone replacement, though...yeah, you're pretty much a douche.
Nah it makes you a glasshole.
no, you're were most likely a douche before.
People who made fun of and cracked jokes to Star Trek nerds and Anime nerds "DBZ" now want to act like the cool kids on the block by wearing the next best thing? Yeah, give me a break!
Most of those people want to buy it to be mini plastic celebrities just for the attention and there not so much Glassholes then they are Narcissistic Assholes!
The problem is they always have been assholes it's just that now you can see it on there faces!
Out of the 1,000 or so people who bought it, how many are really using it for professional use or anything other then showing off?
No more so than people who used smart phones 7 or 8 years ago. The people who see them as douches are certainly highly ignorant and simple minded though.
