This came from a thought I had this morning which I'm going to present in short form today, but I have a feeling that I'll be developing it further over time.
Many of you have already heard about Google's Project Glass (I wish there were a clever JD Salinger tie in, but alas). Project Glass is Google's first real attempt to create a comprehensive digital environment based not on a carried device, but built in to a pair of glasses. Through voice commands and other gestures, the glasses can explain data, capture pictures, and communicate via phone, email, or text.
Google has released a video showing how a device like this might work; though this is clearly a fabricated video and not an actual product. All reports and rumors indicate that the device is far from this level of completion. Watching this video, two things became clear to me. First, I don't know how I'm going to navigate without constantly bumping into things. Second, I am clearly not enough of a hipster to use this device.
All that said, I had somewhat dismissed the device in my mind…until this morning. This morning I couldn't find my car keys. As I was desperately searching, I thought, “If only I could ask my Google Glasses 'Where are my keys?'” Suddenly I couldn't have my pair soon enough. C'mon Google, let's get moving! The time saved in looking for keys and remotes will change the world!
As always, I invite your comments

I do not need this. First, I just ask my wife, “Honey! Where in hell did I put my keys?” Second, I already play the ukulele or ukule’le. Third, we have cancelled our reservations for the food truck revolution which we read about on Al Gore’s Internet, the information superhighway.
I agree-I would be bumping into things. I would need a guide dog to go with them to prevent me from hurting myself and others!
