Protip: stop trying to make "wearable computing" look stupid and out of the ordinary, no on wants to be known as the guy with the high tech monocle.

I cannot imagine how small a computer will get in 2 years considering the rate we are going.

I cannot imagine where we are planning to wear them besides wrist, arm, or google style ::shivers::, on the eye. Wow but hitting a billion in 2 years, I guess I can see that now that I have considered that he already have it. It is reasonable to see it go that far. I wonder how many people will shift from one thing to another and how many of the people that consume will be new.

You will become one with the Google. Resistance is futile.

in soviet internet, clothes wear you

That's all fine and dandy until some pesky little troglodyte injects a little individuality into the Google collective.

On the darker side:
So far the annoyance was that people are wired, put earplugs on so they can't hear others shouting their name. Still had the option to wave to get their attention.

Now they'll be wearing this glasses too and won't see one waving either.

Or they'll see G+ notification that someone's waving at them, and if the person is in their contacts, then maybe even his name.

Wearable computing is ok once you iron the bugs out - when I first tried it, I kept bumping into things, but found that if you pop a couple of blanks out of the expansion bay, you can see quite well.

And don't forget the option to remotely take control over his body and wave back!

Considering the only place I see people wearing Bluetooth headsets is Walmart, I don't really expect this technology to be any cooler.

LOL - Silly Billy!

I see a lot of people Borg'd up with little blue lights while driving, too. It's simply practical and doesn't put you out of touch with the environment. VR glasses woihile driving would be pretty dangerous, but as heads-up displays they'd make sense.

$800 million this year... I don't know of anyone with one of these devices. I am confused am I missing something!?

its referring to watches and nike fitness stuff, etc etc.

Each driving category will have a subcategory indicating the ability of the driver to wear those 'glasses'.
Basically, If you wear these 'glasses', you'll need a new driving license.
