      I see this line of text from 'As We May think' (Vannevar Bush, pg 3) and I think, Google Glass! Well, a primitive version but quite Visionary. #emac6300

      "On a pair of ordinary glasses is a square of fine lines near the top of one lens, where it is out of the way of ordinary vision. When an object appears in that square, it is lined up for its picture."

    Remi, I completely agree with you. Then as soon as I read your comment I came across this article. The way they describe Facebook for Google Glass sounds much like that line from the reading. http://blog.hootsuite.com/wearable-tech-series/

    Katie, thanks. That was an insightful post. I never thought much about the Google Glass medium being essentially visual. Text heavy media sites may have to adjust accordingly. This line from the article addressed it. "Google Glass is primarily a visual medium. It is a device reliant on visuals, gestures, and voice. For this reason, text-focused social media does not complement Glass. Do not expect to read long drawn out blog posts, or a constant barrage of tweets. Even so, text has its place-mainly to augment the visuals."

    I thought this article was really interesting after reading "As We May Think" by Vannevar Bush as another way to show how far we are coming with science that now Google is making contact lens that will measure Glucose levels in Tears. It is amazing to see how advanced we are with technology. #emac6300

    Amanda, having diabetes this is an awesome thing. I can't tell you how many times I wished for some other way to monitor my glucose levels without having to prick my finger. I've done it for years, but you only have ten fingers and it gets old pretty fast. I have to alternate fingers and hands to let the others heal enough to prick all over again. This is amazing and I'll be in line I'm sure when this product is actually released to the public. I just worry about cost, can an average diabetic afford this kind of technology and will insurance pay for it? Thanks for posting this! #emac6300

    You know, I was wondering about the contact itself. I use to wear contacts and if anything got under it, it was killer. It would irritate my eye constantly till I could get it out. How can the chip not bother or be noticeable to the wearer?That chip on the fake eye in the video looked pretty big, even bigger than the photo in the article Amanda provided. How could I see past it, how transparent could it be? Also, if the wearer uses saline to water the eye, does that mess up the tear glucose readings. Man, I have a lot more questions for the manufacturers and scientists behind this. I would love to be a tester for this product. #emac6300
