If you get involved in science fiction movies, books, comics or animation, the Google Glass concept is something that has been popularized for a couple of decades. It's essentially something that will be the next evolution of the phones we all carry.

These concepts have been around for decades and it's fun seeing the way it's coming into reality. Google Glass is pretty much the Apple Newton of them though, but it's something that will be released into the wilds and become more than it looks like now. I'm definitely excited for it.
