      Google is giving more people a chance to pay $1,500 for a pair of the Internet-connected glasses that the company is touting as the next breakthrough in mobile computing.The product, dubbed "Google Glass," will be offered to "bold, creative individuals" selected as part of a contest announced Wednesday. Google Glass is supposed to perform many of the same tasks as smartphones, except the spectacles respond to voice commands instead of fingers touching a display screen. The glasses include a tiny display screen attached to a rim above the right eye and run on Google's Android operating system for mobile devices.
        First of all, will These pair of glasses be able to make the citizens lifes easier? Because no hands are required to operate them, Google Glass is supposed to make it easier for people to take pictures or record video wherever they might be or whatever they might be doing. David Powers, a worker at Verizon, says "touch screen phones are always having trouble because of their screens will not read their owners finger." This kind of technology could make things be easier for citizens across the nation and could be one of the greatest inventions. I would want to test these glasses and compare it with my smartphone and see which one runs better.
         Next, can Google Glass search anything we want?Online searches also can be more easily conducted by just telling Google Glass to look up a specific piece of information. Google's Android system already has a voice search function on smartphones and tablet computers. Jesse Littlefield, a current Iphone user, states " It is easy for me to search up information on my Iphone ,could a pair of glasses make it easier"? Many people already like there phones and would just rather keep them instead of a pair of glasses. My phone is also easy to understand and work but the glasses to me seem to be a whole lot more complicated.
         Finally, Will these Glasses be able to fall off and break easily? In the latest demonstration of the product's potential, Google posted a video showing people wearing the glasses while skydiving, riding a rollercoaster, skiing, riding a horse and even swinging on a trapeze. Trevor Clark, A next door neighboor, comments " I have dropped my Iphone and it instantly broke. No way glasses could be any better." I would agree with trevor if these glasses were to fall would that be another 300 dollars down the drain? There seems to be a lot of risk in saftey when buying these is this a smart investment?
           In conclusion, Google has made another invention that could go on to make billions of dollars. There are many questions I wonder about this product but i would still like to experience Google Glass and see how different it is from the andriod phones.
