I seriously think Glass is going to change the way people operate.
Maybe, but it can as well end like for example cybersex of the 90. and 00. (anyone?:-))
It is really, really hard to predict which technology will catch on.
in fact, it's not true story, but who cares after all:
During the space race back in the 1960's, NASA was faced with a major problem. The astronaut needed a pen that would write in the vacuum of space. NASA went to work. At a cost of $1.5 million they developed the "Astronaut Pen". Some of you may remember. It enjoyed minor success on the commercial market.
The Russians were faced with the same dilemma.
They used a pencil.
Q: What does this list include?
A: This is the list of CAPTCHAs we found, which are easy to break, and we are either already broke it or we are absolutely sure we can do this.
Just look at any Knuth book (well "The art of computer programming" would be suitable). You can't separate mathematics from computer science. Geez - crypthography, all numerical algoritms are math.
And there are many nice, easy-to-find.sig one-liners, like this:
"Under exponential-Everett, as I understand it, almost everybody is 10E-43 seconds from death. It is only in very rare circumstances that we continue to exist from one Planck-time to the next. But that is our history and we do not experience those universes in which we are dead." -- James Higgo
How Big Is 33.5 Terabytes? (however some infos about Wayback Machine go out of date; for now it's quite possible that WM contains approximately 1 petabyte of data and is currently growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month).
The Library of Congress (20 million books, not counting pictures) -
20 terabytes
Four fucking pages?!? The guy claims to comprehensively contradict some of the best known and most studied concepts in astro-physics, and his proof covers FOUR PAGES? And contains almost no equations?
Equipped with a PC in a proctored environment and pencil and paper for notes, students are challenged to respond to 16 tasks over the course of the two-hour online test.
Notice that they were preparing for about 2,500 donors in 10 days at first. And at the end of the 10th day we have a donors from over 80 countries. Quite amazing.

"I always thought it would be cool to build a wooden computer, where you have to turn a crank and it does logical operations"
Hey, you could still do it with lego, and I mean a real computer with logical gates - http://goldfish.ikaruga.co.uk/logic.html
along with this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism /. plenty of HoMeRz, 4r1st0tl3, 4l3x4nd3rz and even one S0cr4t3s.
we should already have on
In all this postmodern mambo-jambo there is some interesting concept - quantum immortality. http://www.elea.org/Miracles/Miracles1999.html

programming contests "don't pay the bills".
No. Tomek (1. in topcoder) earn $116,543 in about 2-3 years.
Petr (2. in tc) - $24,398
SnapDragon - $36,537

The Art of Computer... by Knuth?
Stanislaw Lem predicts it about 20-30 years ago in some of his novel.

You must be new here.
And remember that '00' means 'license to kill'
Andkon should be proud of it.
When I'm showing something to my parents, I always notice that they are very slow in using mouse, clicking icons, etc, it frustrates me most.

BTW - I'm currently learning morse code and I encourage you to learn it too. Here is quite good program that will teach you - http://c2.com/morse/
