Who was that man wearing super high-tech, $1,500 smart glasses on the New York City subway? According to a tweet by a guy who got a picture of the mystery glasses-wearer, it was none other than Google co-founder Sergey Brin, wearing a prototype of one of the most highly anticipated new tech products -- Google Glass.
Noah Zerkin, who took the picture and tweeted it, describes himself as a wearable computing enthusiast and "prototyper" on his Twitter profile. He said he just happened to run into the most famous piece of wearable technology Sunday and the man behind it.
Zerkin tweeted a picture of his encounter with Brin, saying "Yeeeah ... I just had a brief conversation with the most powerful man in the world. On the downtown 3 train. Nice guy."

What I would be most concerned about, frankly, is where the data is potentially going. I mean, is something/one tracking my movements, my data requests/transmissions? I really don't like that idea at all.
I realize that our smart phones do that already... in fact, so do standard cell phones... but I would assume that along with more advanced technology come more advanced tracking... data, locations, etc.
I think technology is wonderful, but I find the nefarious aspects of it terribly frightening.
eh.
It's not in my reach at this point anyway, so it doesn't really matter right now.
Having a wearable computer screen on your face is something I've always thought was cool. It would make surfing the net on the go a bit easier, I'd imagine.
Hell, where's my flying car?
I suppose you can set the ship in a geosynchronous orbit and beam down but a bit of overkill IMHO.
I could be like the Homestuck kids then! :D
Any useful computer needs an input and output. How is that handled?
As is, we have people killing themselves and others from being distracted by cell phones and text messages. Add in a visual image and you've multiplied the distraction factor many times.
I'd possibly wear them possibly after they had been about a few years so they had ironed any new tech glitches and weren't ridiculous money.ツ
