"People who constantly reach into a pocket to check a smartphone for bits of information will soon have another option: a pair of Google-made glasses that will be able to stream information to the wearer’s eyeballs in real time.
According to several Google employees familiar with the project who asked not to be named, the glasses will go on sale to the public by the end of the year. These people said they are expected “to cost around the price of current smartphones,” or $250 to $600.
The people familiar with the Google glasses said they would be Android-based, and will include a small screen that will sit a few inches from someone’s eye. They will also have a 3G or 4G data connection and a number of sensors including motion and GPS."

Hmm this coupled with other Google projects like facial recognition and it seems like privacy will become virtualy unknown.
I'll be able to look at crowd and with my Virtual Status overlay have my glasses show me everyone who is in a relationship and what video games they like. It like make having to ask the question "Are you seeing someone" a lot less awkward. Yay future.

.. although it could 'sometimes' be useful.. I fear if the this will make ppl dumber and more dependent on tech even for trivial tasks..
