    no, I don't want to be so 'connected', have people, or 'Big Brother' knowing where I am, what I'm doing, where I'm going, telling me what to do, blahblablah.

    What ever happened to being 'real' and remembering shit? Yes, I see the benefits, but I think technology is making people lazy and stupid. How many phone numbers do you know by heart?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Wow, that's pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I'd wear the shit out of them. Most of us already walk around looking straight down at our devices anyway. This would at least save my neck from hurting......!

    Lets all get on board!!!!

    I'm torn, but ultimately I don't think I would for pretty much the same reasons RKCNDY pointed out.

    I also agree that technology is making people lazy and stupid these days. Stupid might be a little extreme, but it seems that people are significantly less interested in mentally simulating things these days as opposed to just being entertained by electronic gadgets.

    We should've seen this coming though.

    I'd rock the shit out of those! Just think about it. You could just look at someone and tag them as an asshole on your facebook page! :lol:

    I wouldn't buy them, they have to be for free for me to wear/use them
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    While I personally wouldn't wear them, my first thought was that anything hands free like that would help cut down on dumbasses texting and driving. Then I saw the video, and all I could think about was dumbasses getting in wrecks because they're video chatting with somebody while driving instead of paying attention to the road.
