    Google Glass

    I cant imagine people wearing this thing in public. IMO it puts you at an even higher level of douchness than the people that that wear their Bluetooth ear piece no matter where they are.

    This forum is filled with nerds. No matter how cool or practical this thing is, would anyone here actually wear this?

    At least Google seems to be driving the future, between these weird glasses and cars that drive themselves.

    This.

    They also have their own internet being run out of railroad cars parked across the country filled at like 98% physical capacity with super compact, energy efficient servers they designed themselves from the circuits and resisters up.

    Im not even going to get into what they are doing with the land they are leasing at NASA Ames...

    I am driving at 70 mph and this Google self-driving car passes me in the left lane going at least 80 mph. The posted speed limit is 65 mph and I had to video this car from the future breaking the speed limit. Who gets the speeding ticket?

    Bluetooth ear pieces are douchey for a bunch of reasons that don't apply to Glass. The only common reason is that other people can see you wearing them.

    That small stigma will fade because Glass is fucking awesome and tons of people will be using it.

    Maybe you are right. I just think females are going to think men that wear them are douchebags. If that is the case, many men wont wear them no matter how practical they are. Getting laid is much more important to many guys.

    Really? That never stopped anyone from wearing graphic tees.

    Then again, maybe it's the douche-bros that are obsessed with self-image and getting laid. They'll abstain from the Glass and only nerds will wear them. They'll come along for the ride later when it's more prevalent, like they did with video games.

    ^This. We already think that guys who were bluetooths all the time are douchebags, this would definitely be worse.
