> the true intentions of the Glass project was a social experiment by Google to introduce something quite controversial and see how it fared in the current social/technology climate in America. Honestly I think the true intentions of Google Glass were exactly what they claimed to be. It's really a testament to the problems of letting engineers make decisions on consumer technology. The social problems of Glass were obvious as soon as they were exposed to real users, so the question is, how on earth did they manage to spend so much money and time developing the product without doing the slightest bit of user research beforehand? I mean really. I know Google has money to burn, but this is just ridiculous.
