Before too long, if you DON’T wear glasses, you’re simply going to be a two eyed odd ball.
You may have read about it already, but Google is working on a pair of glasses that provide you with a heads-up display, with internet connections that display information important to you such as weather, appointments, or tasks you may have. Phone connections, tweet, text, or perhaps IM whomever you want to all through being aware of your heads-up display, and commanding your connections by voice.
The types of interactions you could have start to get mind boggling.
The glasses would be able to identify where you are, where you need to go for your appointments, and provide real-time feedback on traffic and route suggestion. “Time to leave, Dave. Your going to be late if you don’t exit the house within the next 7.5 minutes.”

If you are driving in a Google controlled car, the glasses could connect into the onboard computer, and take over display of any critical items you should be aware of – low gas, oil, over-heating, or any particular interesting item. Like, directing the onboard entertainment system to play one of your Play Lists, or a specific album that you downloaded to the car. The heads-up display could allow you to browse the lists available without having to put down your newspaper while the car is driving you to work.
It all makes the old cartoon, Dick Tracy, seem so behind the times . . . his watch only had cell and video capability!

Google search is amazing. Think about how fast you get responses and even the “sample” page displays to help you determine if that particular return is what you’re looking for without having to click through and off the search page.
Google AdSense helps everyone earn revenue from their website, and reviews your content to attempt to place ads that make sense with your related content.
Blogger pages are easy to secure and use, and are less likely to get hacked, unlike WordPress sites. You can configure your domain to replace the mywebsite.blogger.com URL with your own domain name.
Google Earth is unbelievable and fun to use. I used it to “fly” along the route I was going to take in India from Agra to Rathambore Park, and then from there to Jaipur.
Picasa is a hugely popular and effective way to store and share your photographs.
iGoogle web page is improving, and is a pretty good configurable personal “home” page.
And let’s not forget Google Docs which removes the cost and complexity of installing and maintaining Microsoft Office on your computer. By it’s nature you can collaborate easily with others online sharing a document and jointly update it.
Apple may get a lot of the glory for those of us who are gadget geeks, and are in awe over the iPhone and iPads, but frankly, I think you would be hard pressed to find a company that has rolled out more innovative products than Google. Wait until their Google glasses and self drive car technologies hit the general market place.
Wow.
