Causing Future Shock

I would probe what total history means: what can you do with a transcript of everything said in your vicinity, from that point forward?
How do you speed up your life to have enough time to watch the “best of” of other people’s life streams?
What does a world look like where lying is really, really hard?
What are memories, anyway, if remembering is the default and forgetting a decision, and rewatching your memories hits you in the stomach because you had a rose-colored recollection?
How do we avoid turning the world into a safe, boring disneyland when you can’t get lost ever again?
How do social norms change when no one will ever be in the moment again?
Who will write the monitoring to alert you about anomalies the contacts version of glass detects in your vital signs?

Seeking Glass Explorers
Last year we showed Glass to the world for the first time – we jumped out of airships, crashed New York Fashion Week and even took a ride on the subway. It’s been an exhilarating journey so far and there’s a lot more to come, but we can’t go it alone. We’re developing new technology that is designed to be unobtrusive and liberating, and so far we’ve only scratched the surface of the true potential of Glass.

Now we want you to get involved and that’s why today we’re expanding our Glass Explorer Program. We’re looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass. Glass is still in the early stages, so we expect there will be some twists and turns along the way. While we can’t promise everything will be perfect, we can promise it will be exciting.

We’d love to make everyone a Glass Explorer, but we’re starting a bit smaller. So, if you want to be one of the first Explorers, go to How to get one find out how.
