    While I believe it is important to ensure these companies adhere to health regulations as regards, products, processing, preparations, specifications and all that, i think it's unrealistic to expect photo-perfect food orders.

      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."

    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."

    Interesting. Was just reading the preface for Rebecca MacKinnon's Consent of the Networked. She addressed the issues of Internet Freedom and how much of the Restrictions in China (and other countries) are directly or indirectly backed by policies, technical decisions made by governments and corporations in the democratic west. Such a gloomy thought but...
    In other news, I'm glad Kenya and South Africa made the list, for obvious reasons ;)
