I thought this article was actually pretty interesting because of the adverse reactions he gets from wearing it. To be honest, I have had a pretty negative reaction (in my head) the two times I have seen someone wearing it. It is kind of like an even more obnoxious blue-tooth headset. I also thought he had a lot of interesting points about not being able to wear Glass everywhere, though this is also a challenge of early adoption.

I guess people used to think smartphones were kind of unnecessary, and even now it is possible to be an obnoxious phone user (someone who checks it all the time, and whips it out during conversation to check things). Maybe glass will be like that. What I liked most was his discussion of future applications of Glass, like directions during cycling or recipes during cooking. One thing I learned from smart phones is that developers are extremely creative and motivated to find new ways for people to use a product.
