Could Google Glasses Be More Dangerous Than Texting

Nice to hear that David Pogue is excited about Google Glass.  "Google doesn’t like the term 'glasses,' because there aren’t any lenses. (The Glass team, part of Google’s experimental labs, also doesn’t like terms like 'augmented reality' or 'wearable computer,' which both have certain baggage.)"

For folks like me that wear glasses, what will my prescription lenses look like?  But seriously, its's bad enough that people are walking and texting, or worse, driving and texting, on their mobile devices.  It sounds even more dangerous if these folks are distracted with their Google Glasses on their head.  And that me the biggest concern as texting and driving accidents are on the rise.  Maybe Google needs to first make driverless cars a reality.
