15.Technology improves our lives but ruins those of everyone who hangs out with us.I spend nearly as much of my life waiting for people I'm with to answer a call,text back or finish a tweet(发帖)as they do waiting for me.
I've already known that owning Google Glass---the eyeglasses with a computer attached---will completely turn my life into a virtual reality(虚拟实境)exactly like moving my cell phone fives inches closer to my face.What I need to know is what it's like to communicate with someone who's wearing Google Glass.
I invited Heather Anne Campbell to have lunch with me and wear her Google Glass the whole time.Heather,a comedian who appears on the new Whose Line Is It Away?,is one of about 8000people Google chose to buy the $ 1500 device before it's made available to the public.
I did not think our lunch would go well since I'm one of the few people who believe putting your phone on the table suggests that you don't think I can tell a story as well as someone without a face or body.
When Heather arrived,I noticed that while she is very attractive,she looks even better wearing her Google Glass.Shortly after sitting down,Heather told me that she would never actually wear these glasses to a lunch."It's a social threat."She explained,since by moving her head or saying an order,she could make the glasses shoot video or,worse,look me up on Wikipedia,which would certainly end lunch early.Besides,you can't be nearly as secret with Glass as I thought:I could find when the tiny screen over her left eye was on,so I'd know immediately if she wasn't really paying attention.
It's not the technology that makes the Glassbole (a person who talks to their Google Glass often without noticing the outside world ); it's the person using the technology.There's a chance that by making the first Glass wearers hand in plans on how they'd use them,they'll set a good example.Maybe,in fact,Google will be responsible enough to never sell me one.
