Glass-Kicked
There’s not much to say about Google Glass that hasn’t already been written and discussed ad nauseum, but we thought we’d offer a comic perspective. In the form of a comic. These things seem to work themselves out that way around here.
Glass is really happening; it’s not one of those vapory things that Google announces and then kind of talks up and then forgets about three years later when people ask, “Hey, what about that thing?” and Google’s like “Ohhhhh yeah, that. Um, look over there.” “Where?” “BYE!”
The question now is how big a deal Glass will be and whether people — regular people not tech dorks like us — will cotton to these geek glasses or if they’ll seem so dumb and invasive that those who have them will be treated like social pariahs. Can you imagine gyms and clubs with signs saying, “No Google Glass allowed?” That would be pretty bad-ass actually.
And if you think there won’t be people who (loudly) insist on wearing them all the time, no matter where they, just feast ye eyes on this and weep.
No, seriously. Start crying. Weep for us all.
My Glasses!
I don’t know what the future holds for Google Glass, but one thing is certain: Nerds cling to their glasses like bullies cling to their brawn. These two truths collide in our universe so often that it ended up being the punchline of our comic today and served as one of the fundamental themes of the Back to the Future series.
