Google Glasses: Would You Buy A Pair?




For this blog post, I want to discuss Google’s newest contest. The company is allowing people a chance to pay $1500 for a pair of their newest product, Internet-connected glasses. These selected people will not only pay for the Google Glass, but will then submit an application explaining what they would do with the Google Glass technology. 

Personally, I think it is genius. Google makes money, learns any problems that might be associated with the Glass, get to test it on the market, and are promoting the heck out of it. I actually wish I had $1500 dollars for a pair of these glasses. Sadly, I have rent and other bills to pay first ha-ha.
The timing is perfect as well. Google made the announcement about this product a year ago, before it was even completed and I wanted it then. Now, they are reminding the world of the innovative technology and I still want it.   

Being able to have technology right in front of your face, freeing up your hands would be amazing. I think Google is shaping the future of technology with these glasses by finding new and innovative ways access information, communicate with others online and so much more. I cannot wait for this product to finally hit the market! The glasses are said to cost less than $1500 once they go officially on sale but will cost more than a smart phone. 

What do you think? Would you buy these?

Best/Worst Super Bowl Commercials 2013



I don’t think that the commercials were super this year, however, I did enjoy quite a few. Budweiser Brotherhood was so sweet, Jeep was very serious and heartfelt, Audi’s Prom Night was awesome, previews for Oz/Fast Furious 6/Iron Man amazing, and Oreo Cookie v. Cream hilarious were all good, just not amazing.

I will say that of all the commercials, I was most disturbed by Go Daddy’s. The kiss haunts me and I want it out of my mind FOREVER. Plus, the other commercial with the millionaire on a plane was terrible. There should be a new rule placed on Super Bowl ads to exclude Go Daddy next year. I would label myself TRAUMATIZED after watching it. There were other bad commercials but this one just had images that were flat out disturbing.

What were your favorites/worst commercials?
