I predict it won't make a blind bit of difference when they release it - Apple would struggle to pull off the hipster factor needed for it to work with the public, never mind trying to explain why you actually bought a set :lol:

The UK's Department for Transport is considering a ban on Google Glass use by motorists and we'll no doubt see more actions taken to protect privacy and safety as we move into this brave new wearable world.

I would have thought that they would be handy for route planning as they would not need to be taken off while driving and the driver could keep contact on the road at all times. I suspect that it will be the other features that will distract drivers.

Still cannot see how useful it would be to me.

It'll be great - you'll instantly be able to spot people that need punching.

Only downside is that they can record you punching them. Though do they come with jackets with "Twat" across the back? ;)

Seems to me it would be obvious anyway.

Yes but what about for the hard of thinking?

I still do not see the major benefits of Google Glass except as for handsfree recording or information retrieval. For someone who is paralysed it could be useful. Though for me I cannot see a use. Once it is out maybe I will see new benefits.
