OK, first off I know that I misspelled the word Google or goggle. It was my personal attempt to give a name the newest prototype of what the future is in doing everything from walking around to checking e-mail on the go. Here is viral video that everyone is talking about. If you haven't seen it, check it out.
With some crazy travel the last couple days, I spent some time researching this concept to see if these glasses or the concept of Project Glass would be successful domestically or globally to the masses. Although the concept appeals to me personally (I would be first in line for a couple sets), I am not sure how quickly society is ready to do so much at one time. There is something to be said about being able to go on a walk without checking the e-mail, and text messages in the corner of your futuristic glasses. Although I think that this is a great concept, very innovative.To me the real innovation is in the way that Google pushed this out to the massess. As of today it has been reviewed online by almost 14 million people. Instead or releasing the product, they released a IDEA. This idea is something that they want people to talk to each other about. It is a way for them to bring innovation out into the world, then make the changes necessary to make it exactly something that will work for the masses.
This is a response to the way that they feel at Google about Project Glass and its relationship to innovation and technology.
We think technology should work for you—to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.
A group of us from Google[x] started Project Glass to build this kind of technology, one that helps you explore and share your world, putting you back in the moment. We’re sharing this information now because we want to start a conversation and learn from your valuable input. So we took a few design photos to show what this technology could look like and created a video to demonstrate what it might enable you to do.

So much has been said about this concept of device but we have chosen to be "wowed" by the product and not saw the true innovation in all this. The act of sharing this technology before we have a product is something that shows that Google is still very innovative, very collaborative and just plain good!
