Project Glass

So I just saw this article on this new piece of hardware that Google is working on, and it looks amazing. It's supposed to provide the user with a heads up display, and kind of work like a smartphone that's integrated into their day. Just looking at the pictures I can see how this would be really useful in everyday situations, and I kind of wonder what the social norm for these things would be. It also makes me feel like we're really detaching ourselves from the world around us, and we're trying to have technology in our faces all the time. Personally, I'm excited for this, but at the same time, I wonder if we're reaching a point where people don't stop to smell the roses anymore.
