  1. Cajun Sensation I'm kind of a big deal



    Not sure how I feel about this.

    I'm thinking that wearing one will turn into the social equivalent of wearing a Bluetooth.

    I'm presuming they will look like normal eye glasses and have different styles available eventually? Could be a cool thing if you can't tell they are "Google Glasses", if they don't and they all have the obvious looks then they could fall in the bluetooth category.....which completely screams you are a dork.

    Glad I'm not the only one that thinks you are a complete moron if you walk wearing one of these gadgets in your ear.
  4. KyleK See you at the Box!

    Middle age and older black people seem to love wearing a Bluetooth.

    It almost sounds like you sneaky wear one? Kyle?!?! ;)

    Under no circumstances are they acceptable, my old manager used to wear one and he talked into it all the time like he was so important he couldn't go a single second away from his phone because he was just that important......half the time I doubted he was even talking to anyone.

    Hell no I don't wear one! I was saying middle aged blacks and older. Not so much w the younger blacks. It sorta reminds me of when I worked at Radio Shack in the early 80's. We sold a ton of the dummy cellular antennas for the brothers' cars.

    Damn, that might be an invention idea. Fake Bluetooths for $19.95!

    I can't imagine a bunch of idiots walking around with this thing like they're in friggin star trek but who the hell knows. I will never wear one.

    And at $1500.00, I'm betting they will be slow to catch on. But there's a picture on the website that shows them attached to a conventional pair of sunglasses. If they start doing that, they might move.

    What bothers me is that the handheld devices we have now have made our society increasingly voyueristic/narcissistic. These, I think, will only make things worse, particularly with the feature that allows you to send what you're seeing to other people, apparently in real time.

    Eventually this will be integrated into regular eye wear.
