Future of social media- where to next?

Social media has come a very long way in such a short time, this phenomenon is about to be once again revolutionised by 'Google glasses'. The idea behind Google glasses give us a wearable computer, that can accompany us any where at any time. It will display similar information as a smartphone but in a futuristic hands free way, through your very own voice commands. Google glasses is an innovative technology set to turn the current technological world of smart phones and tablets upside down. The Google glasses have already been launched and tested by numerous people who were rather amazed by what they can do with the glasses.

  

Although this phenomenon brings many new positive possibilities to technology it is not without its problems and downsides. Such as the price of the google glasses ($1000-$2000), customisation you cant really make into something you want it to look like or suit it to your 'look'. The Google glasses also brings up many issues such as privacy and confidentiality and distraction to those who are driving for example. The health effects of this gadget are also still unknown, it may have harmful effects you eyes and brain. So while this phenomenon is a great idea and a step-up in the technological world there is still a long way to go in assessing the cons of this innovative gadget.
