I have been very excited for Google Glass ever since they started the dev release a year ago. I have been reading all about it from several different developer reviews and they all say that Google Glass is revolutionary and going to be ushering in a whole new age of technology. Something like this ten years ago would only exist in science fiction which is why I find it so cool that in only a decade this kind of processor can fit into the chic and slim design of the Google Glasses.

Google Glasses are amazing. Not only is it a huge advancement in technology, it is also very helpful for people with disabilities like the girl shown in the video. It is really cool how it is a computer that you wear like classes and you can do what ever you want just by telling it what to do. Which really helps disabled people like the girl in the video who could not control her arms or legs. It allowed her to go on internet take pictures and do things she normally could not do on a phone or computer because she only had to use her voice. I think this is amazing and is a huge help to everybody.

I thought google glasses was a very good idea! It can help disabled people and make them more happy. It'll also help them do things they couldn't do before by using google glasses like in the video with the girl who got in a car accident. So, this is a very helpful/useful new technology. This new technology is a huge advancement to our society. I just think it's really amazing how they just made these glasses to where you can go on your "computer" with these glasses! It's really amazing and a good helpful thing for disabled people! It makes the disabled people more confident and happy by using these google glasses.

This is straight out of a sci-fi movie. It is an incredible concept- a computer that senses the same things you do. The possibilities are endless with this kind of technology. It is connecting people in a way that is unlike anything we have ever experienced. It is allowing people to connect more personally. I'm wonderstruck by this and I can't wait to see it in action!

These google glasses are absolutely amazing!! This is a revolutionary and historic invention for the world! Disabled people can now do more things and be more involved with the world! I also think that for what it is, the price is very affordable. These google glasses are amazing!

The google glass are one of the biggest inventions for disabled people ever. The thought that people are this smart is unbelievable. Now disabled people all over the United States can do more things such as taking pictures just by saying a single word and taking videos by saying a single word. The disabled people looked very happy with the invention and whos oppinions better to trust then the people actualy using it.

This is really cool. Its interesting tosee how fa we have come technologically in a matter of only 25 years. Not too long ago people were amazed at these big bulky things they called Cellular Phones. No one back then, i don't think, would have ever seen something like this every becoming a reality. Its hard to believe. This also scares me a little because this shows how dependent we as human beings are dependent on having technology on us 24/7. But overall, it is a very interesting video and it blew my mind.

I think that it is amazing that so many disabled people in the world can now put some of their disabilities aside and can enjoy things like the majority of people can. For example the girl who was paralyzed from a car crash, she probably was really depressed that she couldn't do some of the things she used to be able to do(such as taking pictures). Now with google glass she can hang out with her friends and take pictures of them having a good time. Many of Google Glass' features will also help the disabled feel more comfortable in social situations so that they don't get made fun of. I think that Google Glass is an amazing product and I hope that many disabled people will be able to have a better life by using it.

This is seriously so cool! I love the fact that it gives people with disability the opportunity to use it. The most amazing thing that Google Glass feature in my opinion is the fact that it helps people with autism distinguish other peoples feelings and emotions! This is so amazing that people with disabilities can live every day the way the average person does.

This is absolutely amazing! This is the future and its looking good in the technology area. These glasses are so advanced and to think that theres people out there who are that smart. They're not just thinking of technology addicts, they're thinking about disabled people too! The part that you can just talk is like siri, but you don't have to press a button, its easier for people to use who don't have the ability to use their hands. My favorite part about this, is the fact that they have a part for autistic people to show how people are feeling. That is truly amazing. Also its cheap too!(:

I couldn't load the video for some reason, so I just looked it up, but anyway I think this is amazing! As everyone else has said, it is from science fiction! It also reminds me of Cookie from Ned's Declassified a show on Nick where the geek sidekick had a camera/computer chip thing attached to his glasses. Thia is revolutionary especially because in this day and age its about how quick something is and multitasking. This also raises questions about distractions, especially when driving. Will is distract the driver more or less than a phone or GPS? All-in-all this is great, even though it costs about $1500 right now...

Google glass is incredible as it is today. This technology is unheard of and the video shows some of the effects it has had on disabled people, which wasn't what Google glass was originally created for. Its really exciting to think that this is just the beginning of a new type of technology. Think of glass as the first cell phone. The cell phones today are nothing like the first one and have so much more capabilities and improvements. Google Glass will hopefully be the same way and be an entirely changed, and better product in coming years.

Google Glass is probably the coolest new piece of technology that I've seen in a while. I really like the idea of having things like this to aid the disabled. Like Carrie, I also immediatly thought of Cookie from Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. The most interesitng aspect of Google Glass is how it could aid those who are autistic. I honestly think that Google Glass shows how far the US has come in the digital age.

I think that in a world where all of the new technology and things that are being invented are completely ridiculous & unnecessary, this is a huge step up and it is so extraordinary. Whether the purpose of it was to assist disabled people or not, it certainly does assist them & it helps them to focus less on their disabilities & more on their capabilities. It is great that this device can not only help them do or understand things they might not otherwise be able to do, but it can also help them feel more capable of things. I think it will help autistic kids in social situations too. Everything about the product is wonderful.

If The google glass can be described in one word, amazing. Google not only created a new product but innovated a product that wasn't thought to be possible 10 years ago. Even thinking about all the devices besides Google Glass that have opened and expands the world of technology being created within a short period of time. Products such as the iPad, as other devices have changed and expanded the world of technology. Not only have these products helped people with things such as work they have also helped people with disabilities. Google glass is said to help those with autism help identify another persons feelings through facial expressions. With the influence of Google Glass more products that can help create more products that will better peoples lifestyles.

This is honestly one of the most incredible pieces of technology that has been made so far. Some argue that technology is affecting the lives of people negatively -- taking away social skills, addictions to their phones and the internet, etc. But seeing technology work in the way that Google Glass does shows that technology can have a positive impact. It is progressing us into a bright future. The fact that Google Glass can improve and help the lives of disabled people is truly amazing. As the woman Alex said, Google Glass can help her focus on things she can do now rather than focus on what she can't do with her disability. And also keep in mind the ways Google Glass can help people with Autism and people with hearing disabilities. Seeing how Google Glass can completely change the lives for some people is stunning and one of the greatest things I've ever heard of. If the technology is this advanced now in 2013, imagine what it will be like fifty years from now? I look forward to seeing new improvements in technology to help better the lives of people!

Clearly, as everyone has said, this is an amazing piece of technology. I think that this could create a whole new world in technological science. I think that the fact that it helps people with disabilities is a major plus. Literally, anyone can use it in some sort of beneficial way. I can only imagine what the world would be like if everyone had Google Glass. The advancement in technology that we have had over many years is amazing and it makes you think what it will be like many years from now. I feel like in another 20 years, technology is going to run our lives and Google Glass will be part of the progress made in the past years. But how can it get any better than Google Glass?

It is absolutely amazing the amount of functions today's technology is capable of. This just goes to show that there is a vast, endless, and unknown world out there in the world of technology. Clearly, the possibilities are limitless. Just the prospect of Google Glass itself seems surreal and just plain incomprehensible not only because of its fascinating current achievements, but also because of its incredible potential to have a huge impact on the world. I'm definitely looking forward to the improvements and new achievements that technology will see in the future.

Wow. Over the years technology has really gone far. Some of the things that we have now, we would have never thought to be possible years ago. It is just amazing, though, how technology has been able to help those with disabilities! They can live normal or normal(er) lives because of gadgets like Google Glass or, for instance, bionic limbs (arms, legs). While I very am excited to see what advancements in technology await in the future, I am also afraid that we will become too reliant on it.

I agree with everyone, and think that this is absolutely incredible. Having worked with many children and teens with Autism, it was so great to learn about the benefits these glasses provide, and I hope to see and learn more about them in the future. These Google Glasses are a way to give disabled people their freedom back and more. Having to constantly ask for help and not being able to do things for oneself is always a challenge, and in the video it was clearly shown how disabilities not only cripple the body, but also a persons life. I am completely amazed at the technology and just the fact that people could think of such an idea.

I think this is a great invention. This is one of the examples technology actually helps human beings. While it's really cool, I feel people will abuse its purpose. It's supposed to make things easier, but I feel people will fool around with it. Not that that is a bad thing, but I feel this should only be accessible to handicapped people. Or raise the price for people without disabilities. Other than that, I feel like this is an awesome invention. I think I want one now.

This is truly remarkable! I can't believe that technology like this is available for people to actually use and as many people have already stated, its like its straight out of a movie. I really like how people with autism can use this. It is a great advancement and I think it will do some really cool things in the future. I also agree with Carrie: wouldn't this make for a difficult driving experience? It seems like its right over an eye it seems like that would be distracting, but as shown in the movie, maybe if the are just a passenger? I don't know, despite this, it is very interesting to see the progress made.

I think this is amazing. This is the kind of thing that used to be shown in old movies that took place in the future, along with hover-cars and robot servants- the kind of things that people never thought could actually exist. It's so incredible how fast the human race is advancing in technology. The facial recognition software is the most impressive part, in my opinion, because it could help so many disabled people to live a more normal life. I can't wait to see how this continues to develop.

I think it's great that we have the technology that we do. It's amazing how one little thing can change a persons life so much and make them so happy. Imagine the things we will be able to make for people in the future. The girl in the video was so happy that she could finally use something hands free and so many other people with disabilities will feel the same way. There aren't many things that are like that. Yes we have tablets, phones and computers, but for disabled people that means nothing. Google Glass is something that mostly everybody can use and I think that's awesome.

This is honestly amazing! Not only does it show the advances in technology that are evolving everyday, but it gives people with disabilities the right to live as a person without their daily struggles. Google Glass allows people who are paralyzed to search the web, use a GPS, make phone calls or send texts, take pictures, and record videos. For someone who is deaf, it can teach you the sign language you need in under a minute. And for people who have autism, it can detect a person's feeling or emotion, something someone with the disease cannot do very easily. This is absolutely incredible!

Google Glass is simply amazing. I think this a look into the future of our technology. Technology is getting bigger and better as the years go on, and now Google Glass has made it even better. It shocks me that one simple pair of glasses can do so much. They help with sign language, people with autism, etc. It is simply amazing. How they help with autism is so useful and unique. It makes the autistic person able to understand if someone is making a joke or is being sarcastic seeing as though they can't understand on their own. Google Glass seems like such a simple piece of technology but it does so much. They make technology simple for anybody with a mental illness or a physical disability. This piece of technology is truly the beginning of something great.

This is an awesome invention! Google Glass is definitely technology that we need in our society. The features it has are amazing! The fact that it helps people with disabilities is the best part. Allowing family members of the deaf to communicate with them if they do not know the sign for a certain word, or helping the paralyzed to look something up on the internet, use GPS, send messages and more is great. What is really extraordinary, is that an app is developing so autistic people could recognize a person's emotions or feelings. This technological advancement is beyond amazing!

Google Glass is an amazing invention that really shows how technology has grown over the years. For people who have disabilities and are paralyzed these pair of glasses are like a miracle. They can allow them to take pictures on voice command, look something up, use a GPS and tell the glasses what to do, similar to some phones. A great thing these glasses can also do is tell an autistic person if a person they are communicating with is being sarcastic or not based on their facial expressions and emotions. These glasses are worth the money if someone is disabled or paralyzed because it would be life changing to own Google Glass.

I believe that Google Glass is a huge break through for people with disabilities. FInally people with disabilities are able to enjoy everyday activities and not feel left out. However, I think that if this new technology became readily available to the public, people would become even more addicted to technology than they are already. I mean if this is the future of technology, people will not know how to interact socially without the help of technology.

This is an amazing invention, there are so many different things that the Google Glasses can do for so many different people. The different features of the glasses provide people different disabilities like helping the woman in the video that was paralyzed and the lady who helped the deaf boy and used a sign language feature of the glasses. people who don't have any disabilities could also get the Google Glass just because they want it ad it could help them in some way too.

This invention is extremely incredible! It can do thousands of functions and can help people with disabilities in social situations, such as helping mentally challenged people tell how people are felling, and can help them comprehend sarcasm. It can also help people understand sign language so they can communicate with def people, which is extremely helpful for def people to communicate with others without a person who translates for them everywhere they go. This invention is revolutionary, and is very useful.
