... for the man who is starting to think that talking to himself and wearing that bluetooth headset with the big flashing blue LED on it doesn't make him look enough of a w***er any more.

.. and ..

To become a new ‘Glasshole’ will set you back a cool £1000

That's a TheBoy ear warmer for a start.

We can laugh at these now but cast your mind back to how yuppies with housebrick sized mobiles looked like wallies?

Google are snapping up start up companies and their bright ideas(and patents) at a phenominal rate. Google will run the world technology wise for our childrens generation.

I'd rather Google than Crapple, but it's all fads... a bright idea is only a bright idea until the next bright idea

And even in the digital age, it's all about how much stuff you can sell, either stuff to sell people or stuff for selling stuff to people

Won't be long before Audi design a pair...

And any prizes for guessing what happens when you drive, and therefore crash whilst wearing them/watching telly/reading emails etc... you can guarantee that the Google car will have the option of a 50" led screen where the windscreen used to be...

On a side note, when driving a route on the satnav, sometimes the satnav thinks you're not on the road, even though you are, and you get that blue dotted line and the stupid 'rejoin the carriageway where possible' lecture...

I have visions of convoys of Google cars suddenly diving into hedgerows and fields

Yep, you have to remember this, especially when dealing with Google, who are, first and foremost, nothing but an advertising agency. So, do you want to walk around in Google's world being tracked and having advertising targetted at you every minute of your life, or do you want to use them for the few minutes of the day when they are actually of use to you and spend the rest of your time in the real world, making your own decisions and interacting with real people and things?

Yep, me too. Can't be that hard to "engineer" if it doesn't happen by default, either.

[Varche]

Luddites the lot of you.

I bet George Stephenson never imagined driverless trains.

It is a good point about Google tracking your every thought and movement. However that is the way the world is heading like it or not. I suspect that most folk would rather enjoy it. So long as each day they got their happy pill, time to Play Game of Thrones 803 and food and shelter.

[05omegav6]

Kevin, I cannot believe for a nano second that everyone on tinterweb isn't a real person

That said I suspect the proportion of real, actual people vs scammers and bots here is the polar opposite to some other sites I could name

If it is as hack proof as saved Chrome account names and passwords, what could possibly go wrong?

[Vamps]

I want some, would be great for work, particularly, in meetings with my Manager, who could never be described as consistent in her response to any given situation..........
