The mother of all wearables

       Undoubtedly, wearables became a dictionary entry thanks to Google Glass. This was the future tech that all generations have been dreaming of. Google Glass is eyewear that pretty much functions like the Terminator's eyes, in that it provides the user access to features like hands free video recording, facial analysis, communications, and information search. The most obvious advantage for owning such a device would be the ability to access information while on the go. You would no longer need to take out your smart phone to look up something online or to check your email. If this wearable ever become as ubiquitous as phones, wearers could potentially allow law enforcement to access their cameras to find a criminal who's on the loose or a kidnap victim. All great right? Well the disadvantage for such a device are pretty much the advantages. If we are able to access information at will, there would be no reason for us to remember new information. There have been studies about the  biological changes occurring in the brains of people who are "always on", people always glued to their phones and tablets. the brain adapts too well to their behaviors that it no longer stores information the way it would without outside assistance. Secondly, giving law enforcement access to Google Glass feeds would pretty much create the Orwellian society that many fear. We would pretty much be "big brother" nation. Sure we would like to save lives and apprehend criminals by helping the authorities but there would have to be definite legislation and guidelines to prevent any misuse of that kind of access. Now, do I want a pair? Yes.
