So what about 2013 what's this year's it product? and how the hell do you get one. Today's topic is...Google Glass or as I like to call it the stupidest Instagram pic you'll take this year. so what does Google Glass do anyway you can check the weather, take pictures record video, get directions, and look stuff up on the web. Literally by just blinking. Google's official motto is "Don't be Evil" but if you've ever gotten cocktails with Sergey Brin you'll know that they're real goals is world domination so how do you get your mitts on these bad boys if your name isn't Geordi La Forge Well, in March of 2013 Google launched a competition for would be beta testers asking folks to post on Twitter how they would use Glass entries range from the simple record a video I'm recording...look at a mess to the groundbreaking like this Doctor who wants to create training videos from a Surgeons point of view What did you get for winning? obviously the opportunity to get a pair of Google Glass for $1500 dollars In my day $1500 dollars could buy you a limited edition Star Trek lunch pale Sulu Edition almost so the lucky and wealthy winners got their coveted Glass and set off into the world to see as Google puts it how Glass feels What's 23 times forty-two? How many dollars to the pound? Will I need an umbrella tomorrow? Pictures of puppies in pajamas Holy Cow! Oh my God that was a life changing event just now something just happened in my eye Well hello tech reporter Lamarr Wilson, how are you? I'm great George, how are you? just great good to see. I hear you've had Google Glass for a while now. What do you think of them? You know despite what people say or think about them I think they're really cool even so I like fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg she debuted these in New York Fashion Week and all of her models had them on and she really set the trend and made these hot so George these are going to be hot for any season How do they feel, George? just said take a picture you just recorded video over the up Oh there's a picture Okay so if you take your finger like this and move - swipe it forward says a settings 59 percent battery. no network connection this is kinda fun though you know some Google Glass wearers with that recording capability have already made their way into the sensitive locations like hospitals, schools, and even strip clubs...Oh My. last thing Lamarr are there any competitors? Well absolutely there's Glass Up, Smart Glasses Epiphany eyewear, the list goes on and on each one with a better name and weirder look than the last one so here's my take: the future is coming whether we like it or not I cant stop it, I can only adapt from now on whenever I have to embarrass myself in public I'll simply where this and that my friends is Takei's Take remember to subscribe to our channel like this video and tell me what you think in the comments below until next time I'm watching you online dating expert David So I'm really tall.
