Google announced that the controversial, pricey and still rather infant technology Glass is now available to the brits for £1,000 and if you’re over 18 (but seriously, if minors can get alcohol and drugs, I can’t imagine a kid with £1,000 sitting in their pocket not able to convince an adult to buy this for them). This is interesting news mainly because while there is a consistent flow of articles and editorials on how Glass invades your privacy, restaurants/bars/movie theaters are banning it, it’s become a badge of the tech elite, blah blah blah – there’s still a lot of people who want to get their hands on it. There’s the early adopters who love trying something new, there’s people who want to stand-out (good or bad) and then there’s people who see actual use of Glass in everyday life and possibly in their professional life like cops and surgeons are already doing. I don’t think Google would be doing this if no one wanted Glass (which is what all the articles suggest) but I also don’t think Glass is going to become as mainstream as the iPhone either. But just like segways, mini disc players, the nintendo power glove and other technologies that were ahead of their time, Glass may just be a chapter in the history of tech… or maybe not… who knows…
