Google may have one-upped Apple on this one. Not by design, but by idea.Project Glass, the innovative new technology developed by Google, is sure to take technology to a whole new level. What may look like large, dorky glasses, are actually the newest form of technology the encompasses voice recognition, maps and other features you wouldn't expect on a pair of glasses.
According to uproxx.com, "The glasses can stream information to the lenses and allow the wearer to send and receive messages through voice commands. There is also a built-in camera to record video and take pictures."

Although Project Glass is still being developed, rumors have suggested Google may try to release this product within a year. In fact, Google co-founder Sergey Brin was recently seen wearing these around town. This type of technology aims to eventually eliminate smartphones completely, as voice control continues to take over.
Of course this increases the chance of distraction for someone focusing on an image while driving or walking. This parody is a good example of what may or may not happen if you are not careful with your glasses. -- Google Glasses a New Way to Hurt Yourself
Even though this hasn't come out yet, it makes you wonder what life will be like in just a few years. Will there be iPhones? Ipads? Even those dirty green goblins that call themselves Androids? Maybe. There will probably be something cooler than Project Glass. The technology revolution may just be taking off.
