I have been waiting for this type of technology all of my life.
Come on, you are lying if you say that you didn't want glasses like these when you were in grade school.

Although the way technology is altering our conception of social interaction and community is pretty crazy. You don't have to look very far at all to see a strong example of it, and a strong example why it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Stuff like this is, however, a reason I suspect a post-modern, anti-technology trend is going to get pretty strong in a very short time. Quitting facebook is already a "cool" thing to do.

yea except in that situation it wasn't true
today it already is true, and stuff like this is only gonna make it worse. every time i go out, when i'm with my friends, tons of people pull out their phones and sit on em. i was bad like this too, until one day i'm like "i'm getting out of control" and snapped out of it. i still have to make a conscious effort not to do it. the telephone never did that.
even everywhere you go go, when there's like a 2 min wait, everyone pops out their phones. it's a pretty awful sight.

Well I think some people were pretty upset that the hand written letter fell off as a method of communication, but I definitely see your point. Getting into the later years of college I'm seeing/befriending people a few years younger than me, and their use of social media is, at times, deeply unsettling. But, just as you changed your ways, I think there will be some kind of rejection of all this. People still crave physical interaction, I think it's in our nature as much as in our culture.

They said to one another on an internet forum. Sorry, this is just a bit funny to me.

Agreed. I alluded to the irony in my first comment.

But really, I'm with IG on this one. And no, it's not hypocritical of me to say that. I possess almost no technology: a decade old phone; no facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr, literally no online interaction outside of FF. Even with 5k posts here, I spend only a portion of time actively online, which is what's sad.
Regarding this google glass, no I don't like it one bit. I don't like Facebook either. So much so I think I'm moving to a different country (that doesn't use Facebook or anything else of the sort) when I'm older. #serious |
