Project Glass:
It was available to only the US developers, back in 2014. There have been other head-mounted displays. But, Google glass is chic, slim and small. There was a massive hype over this great innovation by Google all over the physical and electronic media. A lot of privacy issues cropped up. You wouldn’t want your conversations to be recorded by a bespectacled guy right next to you. Concerns like, overuse of the glassware during critical activities like driving. The Wi-Fi being too close to the head also posed a possible medical threat. So, it was a flop. But there still is hope for this project. And once it bounces back as it is rumored to in 2016, it can be a hit in India. The second generation would not be available to all, but businesspeople and other probable consumers are being given this opportunity. Project Glass is not dead, it was and is one of a kind. Google’s arch enemy, Apple might have launched their wearable successfully, but Google will catch up soon.
Google’s Self-Driving Car:
For a country like India, where traffic is a fundamental hurdle to smooth lifestyle, these could be an angelic invention. No chauffeurs, no problems for blind people and no rash driving. Of course, the standard excuse by every Indian employee, “I was stuck in a traffic Jam.” would become vain! But if somehow one could implement it well with the kind of population we have, road accidents would decrease to a minimum. Google says, it has sensors that can detect objects far away efficiently, but that is hardly necessary for India. Our clumsy roads are far from the wide ones they are test driving on. But the future might hold some lovely surprises.
Android wear:
Yes, it ‘s hard to imagine that we could manage without our smartphones around us. Do not worry; Android smart watches will make you not miss them. If anything was left of Indian youth always being glued to their mobiles, it is to be busy with their watches. The remote control of your life will make a shift from your fingertips to your wrists. Android Wear apps are now in multitude. It has GPS too. Remember, when Indian mothers would say, “Would you stop with the phone already?” How would it be if it were to be replaced by, “What’s so special about this Goddamn watch anyway?”
