The New York Times reported that Google hoped to sell the glasses by the end of the year, and they would cost between $250 and $600, the price range of most smartphones.

I guess i was educated in an old fashion way, but i don't like the "concept", sometimes i would destroy my iPhone (emails, calls, etc...) so i can't even imagine wearing these glasses the whole day giving me all that info, constantly, where's the free will with this (libre albedrio)??, that's what makes us human beings and not machines for God's sake!!, if i'm in the US on vacation and i wanna know how to get to the Museum of Natural History i'd rather interact with someone and ask for an address than "talking" to my glasses,....as i said old fashion guy.

Parody of Google's Project Glass

Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

Then I think I'm an ol' fashion guy like you mate ! I don't think I'll talk to my phone one day !... ^^

PS : as you I sometimes want to throw away that damn cellular phone... When it rings while I'm outside walking/chilling/... Or when people says to me "You didn't answer ? Why ?..."

Yh emate. Thi king about it look at all the old star treks. Sliding doors, mobile phones, skype probably other things 2.

Also is this not straight away cutting out around 50% of the people in the world. People who already where glasses?

It would be cutting out 95% of the world population who can't afford or get ahold of it.
