I wonder what the long-term physical side effects of wearing these glasses will be -- without doubt it will cause headaches and strained eyes. I wonder if it can cause sometime like lazy eye, due to the need to both focus ahead with one eye, and on the screen to the side with the other eye.

That said, the business applications can be significant, as outlined above. On the consumer side, it may also have interesting implications, but it is just moving the mass 'sheeple' to more of a disconnect with the real world, and more of a connect to the augmented/virtual reality world that exists on the interwebs.

Whatever happened to people connecting with other people in real life? With google glasses, you can pretend to show interest in a conversation with your girlfried/wife/sop, while keeping track of the big game on the google glasses. Guys will love this, but women will despise it!

We don't need technology to connect us more to the interwebs -- we need to disconnect and return to living our lives in the real world.
