Eclecticist: Google Glass

Eclecticist 02.23.13	Essentially we are all going to end up wearing Vegta's eye-wear without the pink tint.
Ovrot 02.23.13	no pink tint = no buy
Eclecticist 02.23.13	they are making this thing so it can be integrated with shades and prescription wear tho
Funeralopolis 02.23.13	as reddit pointed out: >run up to someone wearing glasses >yell "google glass search for pictures of horse dicks" > disappear into the night
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Solution: GOOGLE GLASS INITIATE SELF-VOICE TRACKING oh sorry bro looks like it only works with my voice good try tho
foxblood 02.23.13	damn so future
Funeralopolis 02.23.13	yea I got giddy when I first saw this being developed, really goes to show the future is now.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	this is the future
Eclecticist 02.23.13	this completely side-lined me lol I am unbelievably excited
Calc 02.23.13	>run up to someone wearing glasses >yell "google glass search for pictures of horse dicks" > disappear into the night lol.
Acanthus 02.23.13	Doesn't work, reads bone vibrations of the wearer. Will buy. And mod.
Calc 02.23.13	then shake them as you yell it. I cant wait for the pop culture backlash from this. googleheads or some shit is what these people will be called. or maybe simply androids.
Acanthus 02.23.13	It could be a viable excuse for those fake black glasses that got so popular, though I'm not sure if Glass can be attached to any old pair.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Yea because people call people with androids Androids and people with iPhones iPeople. You idiot :P
Calc 02.23.13	you get my point though, there will be some name for people who walk around with these on ya know? if i were a sociologist i'd be very interested in how this permeates socially.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Yea there probably will those people but who cares I'll be too busy updating my facebook with cool videos and pictures
Acanthus 02.23.13	I think that the people who consider it too awkward to wear should re-evaluate how often they are on their phone's or tablets in public; I don't really see how this is so different other than being less invasive.
Relinquished 02.23.13	saw this coming and read about this long ago but yeah once they fix all the bad shit that could happen i'll be like vegeta finally my wish will come true
Calc 02.23.13	I need to develop an app that's a scouter I'll be a fuking millionaire
Eclecticist 02.23.13	It makes a lot of sense to have this instead of tablets or phones. Instead of looking down at your phone or tablet you can include whatever you're doing into your immediate social situation
Acanthus 02.23.13	Yup, and I hope they keep their open-minded approach to how people may use this; porn and other various activities can benefit a lot from this. I'd hate to see it "locked"
Eclecticist 02.23.13	lol I doubt that'll happen, maybe a child-lock but google are good at keeping information open for people
Acanthus 02.23.13	I assume it's going to require a google account however, which in addition to the GPS should be quite interesting.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Probably, but Google hasn't developed the product to be exclusive to their social media. Zuckelberg said he's waiting on the official launch so that the team he currently has signed for the project can begin developing apps for it.
ncguitar 02.23.13	I don't need a scouter, I'm a saiyan!
Acanthus 02.23.13	Cool, good to hear.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	yea, but I am mostly super stoked about how convenient this will make life.
Acanthus 02.23.13	Really depends on the data plan coverage, my city has issues sometimes.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Yea that could be a problem but I noticed recently in the news that data plans and internet have been getting better with new technologies that have been coming out this year. France is now boasting to have better coverage than Japan, South Korea, Ghana, Singapore etc. That's a pretty big deal since their access through their devices is basically instant.
Acanthus 02.23.13	I just hope the USA follows, love to have some Google Fiber and wifi here.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Maybe man but companies seem to be running out of the USA as fast as they can. You guys have a lot of troubles right now apparently
Acanthus 02.23.13	We've many issues that's for sure. KC isn't that far from me so I hope Fiber moves my way/makes enough waves that speeds are increased across the board.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	true that broheim
MO 02.23.13	walkin' around lookin' like geordi laforge awww yea
Eclecticist 02.23.13	lol it's not going to be THAT crazy
Funeralopolis 02.23.13	fiber rules
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Future+: tomorrow is today iFuture: we're getting there...
MO 02.23.13	easiest $1500 any theif can nab right off your face, you better develop cat-like reflexes if you want to own a pair of these!!
Eclecticist 02.23.13	that could damage the product
climactic 02.23.13	looks awesome but its creepy at the same time, pretty soon we they will start merging our brains with our computers and we will become half robot
MO 02.23.13	that's pretty much the way the human species is headed at the moment, GET INFORMATION AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!!! DUDE YOU ONLY HAVE 3G I HAVE 4 OMG!!!! I WIN it's a bit of a clusterfuck
Eclecticist 02.23.13	that doesn't seem bad to me lol
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Look guys as far as I am concerned roboticism is nothing really to fear since roboticism intrinsically is an extension of human thought and ability. If anything it's just our way of enhancing ourselves, something we have always wanted to do which is why we are so apt to create what doesn't already exist.
climactic 02.23.13	didnt say bad, its just pretty crazy to think about
Calc 02.23.13	this sounds like the whole premise of the last deus ex game.
Eclecticist 02.23.13	Yea. I remember a few days ago I watched a video of the first ever guy to get two fully functioning arms transplanted to him after his had been blown off by a landmine. We are really living in a golden age of human capability right now and it is only getting more and more blind blowing!
geasoftime 02.23.13	Yes! Thank you for informing me of Matmos. I hadn't heard. I'm pretty excited.
