Will you wear Google Glass, even if it was handed to you for free ? Me == No !

Ok...I (think, I) have had enough of all the so-called pundits / expert reviewers write about Google's Glass. And with my compulsive attitude, I have read them all, even though at times I felt like I was in 'Ground Hog Day'.

Unlike other gadgets where I have taken the time to research and in most cases, purchase one to "play" around, this gadget (Glass) feels like an easy one to decide on.

At the most fundamental level, I cannot imagine (or come to terms) wearing something that changes in color, text, image changes -- so close to the eye. I wear glasses while I work ; I wear sun-glasses if it is even modestly bright outside.

I have tried wearing a small "rear-view" mirror while biking and after a few miles, I felt so uneasy that I took it out and replaced it with a regular rear-view mirror attached to the handle-bar.

Net, net -- my feeling is, aside from the pure "inconvenience" of wearing this gadget, I don't think Google has made a compelling case for this gadget.

A more appropriate audience could be the U.S Army or law enforcement personnel who could benefit from having a real time map of whatever situation they are dealing with; other uses could be night-vision with real time feed of the  map of the ground or the neighborhood.

I am eager to see how the market reacts as this gadget gains (or lack thereof) traction in the market place.
