The Future Glasses

People nowadays are thinking that Apple best, the Iphone is better than the Nexus One or just comparing phones to phones. At first I agreed, for one reason because all my friends have it and I don’t have one and also I think Apple company had went a long way since Steve  Jobs were there and they had made a lot of cool and useful things. But after seeing this video and reading this article, my point of view had changed completely. At first I saw the product I was really amazed, the model was nothing I had seen before, you wear like it is your normal glasses, even though you would look kind of silly and weird in it but it still looked like something from the future. The  I watched the video, and was more amazed, things are pooping out in front of your eyes, you can see the weather update when you look at the sky, find your way around the bookstore and also taking a picture with your own eyes. Here are some of things that really shocked me the most about the features of this product.

First of all, they way how you can take a picture with your own eyes is incredible. Usually, you would have problem holding a camera or your phone because your hands would shake and the result might be making the picture blurred or not clear. But with this feature, you can now take picture of right what you are seeing, this to me is amazingly portable because sometimes when you see something that could make a nice picture, you would sometimes not have your camera or phone with you, you will always want to bring the Smart Glasses with you and at the same times, take a picture with it. Second, the voice recognition of this product is also flat out amazing. In the video, the actor would say something the reminds the glasses to remind him later, this is like Siri but on a Google product.

There is one connection I want to make about this glasses. In the Disney Pixar Movie Wall-E, Earth is covered with trash human are moved up to a huge ship in space. They uses his technology to make life easier for them, and it is similar to this product. They also uses screens that ops out of their heads and every time they want to talk to a friend, all you do is just turn on your camera and just talk, it is like real life because the sounds are so clear and the video is so real. But the problem is they are overweight, everything they do they rely on the product. This might happen to our world, if we keep relying on technology.

Kony 2012 Poem

I’ve seen kids under abduction

The tears of savage and pain

Under the hands of disrespectful Kony

His insidious torture to the children

Had made him more powerful

To save these kids from their formidable fear

To help

Means to act

To stop the kids from being subjugated

They are in irresolution

But we will find their solution

We wear these shirts

To heal all their wounds

We will all be earthly people

And show to the world

That our magnitude of kindness

Will rise over the power of Kony

We will indulge and make a change

We will not back down

We will do arduous work

Until Kony is behind bars

If we avert now

Knowing kids are being kidnapped

Families would lose children

Brother will lose their sisters

Our solution will not be effectual
