People have expressed a lot of concern, and I can respect that but it's so cool! So cool guys.

I'm hoping this leads into a new trend of ever-better innovation with this tech. I would think it's insanely awesome for a lot of applications. How about an app that allows glass to highlight certain elements. This seems small and pointless, but imagine if you could make a tool that has Glass highlight all the nouns on a page as you're reading. If it can do that, it can do a lot more, too, I imagine. Maybe a programmer can keep a whole development environment attached to their head that can follow snippets of code or take blocks of it and keep it in front of your face if you move to a new file.

Or how about Google Glass 2, throw on some EEG meters and you can visually track your brain states in a HUD? That would be super rad I think.

I'm not getting it day 1 because even though I have the spirit of the early adopter, I also know that first-run new tech is often buggy, broken, overpriced and too weak compared to the inevitable new model. So, I will wait for this to get the most out of it.
