The link is for an infographic on The Reformed Broker’s site.  He is a great source of investing knowledge and humorous commentary.  The graphic is awesome in its content and simplicity. It requires no more introduction.

What more do we want?  We have phones that can do outright amazing things…. to the point that I won’t even list them because I’ll offend by missing some cool feature – or worse yet – make myself look worse by not knowing about one.

BUT…

There is one thing that a phone (or watch for that matter) still can’t do – show you the world through my eyes (hat tip BP). Yes, we can record with our phones, and anyone who has been to a concert or sporting event or just a kids recital knows what that looks like.

What about sharing that experience without ever reaching into your pocket or altering your point of view?  Without ever missing a goal or song…

As someone who is married to a photographer I am very aware of this concept of capturing the moment, memories, and emotion of something as it is happening and from a particular angle.   This idea that Google Glass brings to life, of sharing from your own perspective matches very well with our increased familiarity and usage social networks and wireless data – and frankly, our increased narcissism as a society.

Yes, Google Glass has many other attributes and use cases that we will cover at a later date – but this concept of sharing is one that is not met by any other device.  Food for thought.
