Ask Slashdot: Should I Get Google Glass?

My main hold back is the $1500 price tag for a device that just seems to be a camera and navigation aid. Does anyone in the /. community have Google Glass and can they give some advice to the rest of us considering it?"

    You're completely missing the point. Should be doing ANYTHING ELSE while sitting around at work, walking, or driving? No. For the few exceptions, just pull your damn cell phone out. It takes about 1.1 seconds. Nobody has a legitimate use for Google glass other than taking photos and videos nonstop and likely without anyone else's permission. It needs to be made illegal in the entire US and morons should stop buying them.

    If you are so addicted to Twitter that you need it streamed live into your eye because taking out your cell phone is too time consuming, you need therapy, not Google Glass.
