Lessons from Glass:
1) You get used to stares and whispers, but I also have met more people per hour than ever in my life.
2) People in our culture have no sense of personal space. People have touched me and Glass. A lot.
3) The most frequently asked questions include: Can you see through me? (Answer is 'no'). Does it have facial recognition? (Answer is also 'no'). Do you know all my information by looking at me? (Answer is 'no,' but if you have your name on your bag/name tag etc. I will respond with "Yes, Bob" and may or may not tell you that I'm perceptive, not clairvoyant).
4) Airport security did not blink and let me walk through the metal detector with them on. They then became a little distracted with asking questions about them. I will not name the airport.
5) Internet connectivity is key and Verizon is not the service to have with these. Looking to find another data provider.
6) You cannot access Glass through a heavily protected network (one that requires you to download a security agent) or one that makes you agree to a terms of service. I'm still trying to get them connected at Mercyhurst. I'm heading to Panera shortly and praying that it works there.
7) The battery life is meh. I can drain my Glass and phone within four hours doing normal 'stuff'.
I will also leave you with this little text exchange between my dear friend @wheresmyboat and me:
Him: "How are your creepy glasses?"
Me: "Random people want to touch me and them."
Him: "Line of the day: 'Random people want to touch me and them'"
Me: "Hahaha. Well, that happens a lot actually...but now they're actually looking at my eyes ;)"
Him: Touche.
