I've had this nagging feeling that Google Glass type devices are going to gain traction far faster than anyone expects. Personally I have no inclination towards this type of connectivity. I'm fairly amazed by my regular eyesight, and already have a problem processing the information it provides.<p>My fear is that as ubiquitious, wearable computing takes over, it will increase the pressure to be connected all the time, as it further lay a meta network over the physical world. Of course culture will start to develop quickly around this new space, and those that don't want to wear such a device will be hopelessly left out of vital activities.<p>As a sliver of hope on the opposite end, maybe those who choose to stick with natural senses can improve those through mindfullness type methods. This might provide balancing benefits.<p>I don't understand the impulse towards this type of interface. I don't feel that great when I'm online, I have a feeling of being in alternate space, a mental space, and being kind of detached from "real" reality.<p>How about a drug that would improve standard perception and cognition at low cost and minimal side effects? That seems like technology that I could get behind!
