Watch Sergey Brin’s Discussion On Google Glass And The Emasculating Smartphone At TED
Earlier in the month we reported about Sergey Brin co-founder Google talked about Google Glass & The Emasculating Smartphone during a TED Presentation. He spoke more about the motivation of Google Glass rather than the actual features. In his opinion smartphones are emasculating and a nervous habit, and the future isn’t looking down at phones, but rather engaging with people and getting information at the same time.
The vision when starting Google 15 years ago was that people wouldn’t need a search query and information would just get delivered as needed. He feels Google Glass is the first form factor that can deliver this vision. As you know, Google Now was the first step to this in software form. He also mentioned the first prototypes of Glass didn’t have a camera.
Now the video is available in full for all to see and hear Brin’s thoughts on Glass and its origins.
