What would happen if people submitted their google requests in person. (Can't let this go w/o noting that Google is a middle aged white guy). NSFW: language

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

I just saw a tweet about this. #emac6300 http://mashable.com/2014/01/16/smart-contact-lenses-benefits/?utm_cid=mash-com-Tw-main-link

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

Texting can make you drive like a drunk. Now a new study shows that texting can also make you walk like a robot. Researchers found that healthy people who read or send texts while hoofing it show subtle but potentially hazardous changes to their gait.

It seems silly, but I wager that had she been distracted by looking through her bag or some other reason, we would be more sympathetic. My guess would be that the reason of the distraction didn't make the city any less negligent.

Here's an app that allows people to view their path ahead while on their phones. It activates your camera and allows you too see both your screen and the ground. The iPhone version only lets you text and tweet while the android app works for any app in universal mode. People would probably still walk like robots, but maybe they wouldn't trip or step on anything. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.walktext&hl=en https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/type-n-walk/id331043123?mt=8

SkyDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage service, has a new app for iPhone that will automatically upload photos stored in your camera roll to your account.Users of competing services like Dropbox and Google Drive should already be familiar with this concept.

Norma, I have SkyDrive but am still new to using it. I do love how Mac and my iPhone are in sync with each other. I love the iCloud and other services like it, (DropBox) it comes in handy when sharing for work, or for home.
