Google Glass is stupid.
There I said it.
I have been thinking this since I first saw someone wearing them at a conference and tried them on. They were hard to work and took a long time to get to do anything. They also looked weird. Really weird. “Cyborg from the future” weird.
These are all things I thought but didn’t say.
I am a pretty outspoken person so why wouldn’t I say it out loud to others?
Well, because I also thought Twitter was stupid, as well as Instagram, and Facebook. Pinterest was also something that I thought was stupid but man is it helping Paige and I plan a wedding. I said all of those things out loud.
I have been wrong before and have openly said that something is “stupid” without using it or understanding how it could be used.
I waited for something to prove me wrong with Google Glass.
And waited.
Then I saw the video below:
I was moved. I was in tears. It was a great way to tell a story. It was powerful. Although I know this was made for Google by students at USC, I could finally see the potential.
I know that I waited and even though they are still pretty expensive, they could have some pretty amazing potential in schools. I just had to wait long enough to see it and I know better to not jump to conclusions so fast.
I have done that before and will not to do it again.
P.S. Except for Snapchat. That’s stupid. 😉
(Prove me wrong!)
