Google Glass.... Opinions?

Some people say its the next wave of new technology that the public needs. Some say that it entirely violates privacy in public areas. Its been banned in most casinos, and service people are not allowed to wear them for fear of theft.
Is this something that could stop crime? Could it protect citizens from the abuse of authority? Could it cause an increase in traffic incidents?
Let me know your thoughts.
I know i want one. .... But as for the public, can you trust that they can act responsibly with such a product and use a little common sense?

Could the overuse of technology be making people less inteligent and over confident?

This reminds me of something I thought about the other day.
Do you know how in a lot of sci-fi movies there is the one company that breathes life into AI, and then the machines take over and rule the world?? You know, in the movie Terminator it's SkyNet.
Anyone else ever get the feeling that Google is kind of on that track???
Google Glass or T1000???

Sounds like we're gettin ever closer to having computer chips mounted in our brains and walking around here like a bunch of cyborgs to me.

I would like to become an authorized reseller, and then set up kiosks outside of gentleman's clubs. If that's not a million dollar idea, I don't know what is!

Apple is the only company who can charge so much for something that does so little, and still have people lining up to buy it.
