In the article I read, the author Matt Swider talks about the
invention of the new technology, which is Google glass. Google glass is an
emerging technology that uses augmented reality to take photos, video, use GPS,
and search in the web for information by utilizing voice commands. These
glasses can help users stay connected with the digital world but enjoy
real-life moments and stay in tune with the real world at the same time. The
glasses are also light, durable, and comfortable, they come in different colors
and are very fashionable for the technological world that we are becoming;
however, the writer mentions that the glasses do have consequences, they are
extremely expensive, and the price ranges from $1500-3000. In addition, he
points out that Google Glasses will sooner or later make cell phones; cameras,
computers, tablets and GPSs die out because the glasses contain all these
elements in one simple technology. This product will ultimately change society
because it is new, innovative and presents a product that you do not need to
hold in your hand but simply just wear on your face. Our generation’s today
move so rapidly with technology that this product will penetrate into the
market at a rapid rate and consumers will buy.
Many people said that this technology will not be beneficial in
anyway, but it's not finished with no apps. Apps make a smart phone, apps will
make Glass. People love the odd and new things, people will learn the ways to
know when Glass is doing something, it's just something new to get used to, and
once we do get used to it, it shall be something we wouldn't want to live
without. Besides, The Google Glass seems quite cool and awesome; however, it
can be quite disturbing. For instance, you could be driving your car and
suddenly a Google+ Hangout request appears and annoys you and you start to
drive dangerously because the call request is in the way of your vision. In
addition, some people who already wear glasses that correct vision may prefer
if it is an adjustable device that can be attached to their glasses which they
wear all the time. Then it would just be a few parts that could be attached to
glasses when needed. Furthermore, I think Google's Glass is a fascinating innovation and has more
potential than any new device category we have seen in years, but it is very
early days and its cost makes it impossibility for most.
