POST 3: INDIVIDUAL WORK ON 'THE IDEA OF PROGRESS' : The Google Glass.

This video is the official presentation of the Google Glass. It is in fact a sort of add for the Google Glasses, wich are glasses designed by Google. But actually, theese are not regular glasses. They are "intelligent" glasses that work like a phone. On this video, we can see a man who wakes up (we never see his face, actually we watch the whole video through his eyes, wich means, through the glasses, because he is wearing the glasses), and starts the day like a normal person: he drinks his coffee, eats a sandwich, and make plans for the day... But the way he makes plans is completely unknown and surprising, and crazy for somebody who doesn't kow what the video is about: he answers messages and take notes... on his glasses! Just by talking, the glasses are interacting like a phone, because of a mini camera on the side of the glasses.

These glasses are in fact "internet glasses": they are designed so that whatever the person who has the glasses on needs to know, if asks it, the glasses will give him the answer, just like if he was using his computer or his phone, but the difference is, the user doesn't even need to do anything, just to talk.211

This innovation is a revolution for the world; after the T.V, the computer, the internets, and the smartphones, each of them a big step for man in the world of new technologies, but every time for smaller objects, here comes the smart glasses: these glasses are not only a computer that you put on your eyes, it also represents, maybe, the end of the "homed geek" because you can use them anywhere and at any moment, even while you are walking... 

I think that anybody who sees this video wil first think "no, that can't be possible, it's to perfect, it's what humans were trying to create for hundreds of years, so it has to have a problem", but when you look back and realize ten years ago, nobody even had smartphones, you think "oh, then maybe it is possible". The world may go to fast for some people but progress is one great thing that today, we are happy to have and to use in our lives.

This is what the Google Glass looks like.
