Samwisegamgee Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Despite all the new designs and fashion gurus Google has consulted, I just don't believe in Google Glass. IMO, I feel it's just another cool idea that is doomed for taking a backseat. I heard that you can't sneak photos of people without looking really obvious doing it cuz you have to tilt your head and what not ... but not everyone knows that. When the average person sees a person with Google Glass on, they'll always feel awkward talking to them face-to-face. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, I may or may not have talked to a google employee at Google I/O who said she didn't think Glass was useful or have much of a point.
