. . and I thought Bluetooth was dumb . . .

Why would you think bluetooth was dumb? I find the lack of wire very convenient.

Maybe it's because people who use them while walking around on the street or stores or wherever look like they're f*cking crazy talking to themselves!

I am sure it looks better holding the tin can with a taut string up to your ear, that looks sane.

Bluetooth is awesome. Bluetooth ear plugs for cell phones are dumb.

I don't like the idea of sticking anything in my ear.

I doubt I'd actually wear them in their current configuration. If they could make them look like a regular pair of glasses, I might give them a shot.

I think this would also be a perfect use for the Deaf. If closed captioning were made available on the glasses the deaf could go to the same theaters that hearing people do.

Yeah, they would "allow" you, but have you ever seen someone try to walk and text? Or drive and text? You know what a disaster that is? This would be even more of a disaster. Human beings cannot multitask that well so there's no point in having a device like this attached to your face if you want to function at all.

What's Google??

If it includes an X-RAY Specs function, hell yes!

You have to buy those off the back of comic books.

No can do. I'm still bitter about the Sea Monkey rip-off.

What are they going to think of next? Heck no.

Oh, I forgot, it is convenient, it will make our lives easier, It will increase efficiency. It will enable us to cut employees. They can make it in China. It will increase my sedentary unhealthy lifestyle. Everyone else will have one. I will need to get one to keep up with everyone else.

Of course I will not get one. I am going to rebel on this. Just like I did with the microwave.

Great, all we need is more idiots driving and walking around distracted with yet another electronic device. If you thought the ubiquitous cell phone was a modern annoyance, you ain't seen nothing yet.

This reminds me of the cartoon movie "Wall-E." The future humans float around on recliners with a projected TV screen in front of them at all times. I definitely believe that is where the human race is headed should we continue down this road.

This reminds me of an episode from Star Trek, The Next Generation where devices like these were used to control the minds of the crew. Just wait, people will be walking down the sidewalk and then step right off the curb into traffic. And the driver will be on their own non hand held device. It won't be pretty.

I am dreaming of the day when we will find a cure for cancer and clean renewable energy. Create a sustainable vision for the future.

For now we must settle for the blue tooth, I whatever, and some new APP of the day, and Google Sunglasses and drugs like Viagra. Our priorities just do not seem to be right.

Silly g_rock. That's why Google invented self-driving cars, FIRST.

riverdrifter 1 year, 1 month ago

They gots an article on senior sex elsewhere on this site and here they're talking about performing "fuctions" with handheld devices. Somebody woke up hot today!

I was just glad to see they included my category . . .

With all of the studies that have shown how harmful the radiation from a cell phone can be to humans (e.g., a man has increased risks for testicular cancer from carrying the phone in his front pocket; holding the phone up to one's head can cause brain tumors), I would like to know what sort of side effects these "glasses" may cause before wearing them all over hither & yon.
