 The Google Glass Experience  

             Imagine a device that allows you to film, take pictures, search and translate simply with the blink of an eye. Imagine a device that essentially has everything you need in your field of vision. Although the concept of the wearable computer is not entirely new itself, this device is quite remarkable and innovative. It is known as Google Glass (styled GLΛSS) and it is expected to hit the shelves in the near future. James Rivington describes Glass as “an attempt to free data from desktop computers and portable devices like phones and tablets.” Basically, Glass is a camera, display, touchpad, battery and microphone designed to look like glasses (Rivington, 2013). This paper will discuss the background of the product and look at its potential benefits. In addition, it will investigate the legal and ethical issues, security concerns, social problems and further required research.
