Google Glass*

With the intent on making all waking hours connected, making individual life observable by agencies/institutions, with resources to acquire the data, in exchange for facilitating everyday life chores (Instant news and information updates, GPS navigation, consumption of films and music, product purchases, personal back ground information via biometric, Google+ and FB-ing, etc).

2-5 years Prediction: Glasses will reach minimum 30% penetration of current mobile market.  Accessories will include other wearable computing devices such as bracelets, watches, necklaces, interactive footwear that will further acquire biorhythms with more precision.

Worth investing in: Developers of the ability to allow usage of Glass to still acquire the downstream information from Google Cloud to Glass but prevent the upstream of non-authorized (deemed private) information to Google’s Big Data collective. And of course, ethical with the information they are able to acquire through their “filter” and does so without incurring Google’s legal department’s wrath.
