Every gadget lover from here to Hong Kong was titillated by the announcement of Google’s Project Glass or as most of us call it: Google Glasses. The idea of a pair of glasses that would give you augmented reality updates and bring the internet into the real world is a mind boggling concept. These glasses will either usher in a new era of wearable technology or signal the beginning of the end and just become another vehicle for advertisers to bombard us with advertisements. Love them or hate them, Google’s Glasses may already be obsolete! See why inside!

Google released a video on April 4th that quickly went viral, showcasing early prototypes of their rumored “Google Goggles”. The glasses, dubbed “Project Glass”, look nothing like the oft reported Oakley Thumps, but are instead a glass-less bar with nose supports, a tiny screen, a forward facing camera, and a small strip to house the electronics. Shown in either black or white, the Glasses are sleek, stylish, and straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie.
