Google will finally be able to monitor every aspect of your life. Everything you see. Everything you hear. They've always been able to monitor people on their computers, but then they expanded to phones and tablets. Google already knows more about people than any one government does.
This is the next step. Google's influence is moving outside of The Internet. They're going to start to collect data everywhere. They'll know who you talk to, what you do in your spare time, where you are, where you go, and they'll know what you do when nobody is around. They have full access to your life.
The only hope is if a third party steps in to moderate how this technology is used. It should be designed in such a way that it does not collect data and it does not phone home. The same goes for all other Google products. They shouldn't be used to spy on people, regardless of why they're spying.
Ok I will admit that's some scary shit you just said. What can Google do though, it's a company. It's completely harmless and this invention is one of the things that makes me think that when I'm 25, it'll be like a fucking sci-fi movie.
I see your point, but Google won't have any serious affect on us...yet.
How does one sig?
Just more data the government and commercial interests can farm... while this could be a good thing, Google will undoubtedly corrupt it, despite themselves. Any "convenience" created, is nothing more than a new ad-revenue or data-interception treasure trove, for those who subsidize it's development.
Will a product like this hold up? There are a lot of problems w/ a device like this, not least of which, is an "actionable derp factor" - lesser folk can't talk and drive, or text and walk, or use a GPS without driving into the ocean. This, as it appears in the infomercial mock-up, is every class-action suit lawyer's wet dream.
If I had the money, and didn't have to connect to Google +, I'd get it... and try and mod it the hell outta it, to do "questionable" things :3
Now building Vault 101, reverse engineered from yesterdays technology.. or I could ignore it, and let you figure it out |:

Maybe they'll turn dark when in the sun as well?

Illegal data mining is always caused by the victims, not miners. If the victims do not release their private life's info online then miners have nothing to harvest/mine/leak them.
Look at social sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Youtube. information nowadays are flowing too freely. Anyone who wants to exploit the victim's life can find all their ages, backgrounds, cultures... up to SINs and credit numbers. Easily. By search engine with dorks, only.

You just have brought up a very good point and it is actually a sad fact.

Just like Kinect right? I like the ideas.
I'd like to customize mine into a Robocop visor.

OH NO GOOGLE IS READING ALL MY INFO MY LIFE IS RUINED!!!
I don't understand why people are so afraid of having Google take your information and store it away somewhere, never to be read by anyone's eyes (assuming they even take your info in the first place).
And even if it is, it won't be given out to the public.
Maybe some asshole employee might look at it, but he'll probably be fired shortly after.

Or perhaps he will get promoted if he thinks of a better way to harvest all your information, including SIN. No offense but I'm pretty much the in-career guy who either stop or do these.

Imagine getting hit in the face while wearing one of those. Be ready to take out little shards of glass from your eye socket.

I'm that lazy bastard who doesn't bother to take down his damn Christmas lights. I still have the fucking kriss-kringle hats from last year!
1. A few classmates and I came up with that shit in high school. Google owes us royalties.
2. It's technology like this that kinda irritates me. I don't these things taking over our lives. After a generation or two of people using these, they won't be able to leave their houses without them. Pretty soon our world will be like a sci-fi movie where everyone becomes a mindless drone. It's sad, I tell ya.
This is my signature. It is a nice signature.

As long as these don't cost thousands of dollars and actually work without glitches and bugs which even smartphones have, then I think this could be a great idea. If it's cheap enough and works well enough, it could get popular pretty quickly and replace cellphones entirely. Although I doubt it since teenagers will always love txting but if it became big enough, it wouldn't be long before most people started wearing them in public without embarrassment due to popularity.
I think it's a great idea, just not sure how well it would work, like how clear the images were, I imagine it would be blurry so close up. But I still think talking to yourself in public would be embarrassing. I'd prefer it if it had a way to do things on it without using your voice alone, or even better it could have a sensor on your neck which feels the vibrations from your voice box. Allowing you to speak extremely quietly so everyone doesn't hear that you're making an appointment for the rash on your crotch or planning to see Justin Bieber live...
The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.
