Google's Glasses of the Future: Would You Wear Them?

Growing up, everyone’s idea of what the future would bring was different, but I always imagined that we would one day have little computer screens installed inside our eyelids, so you could close your eyes and surf the web at the same time. Turns out, I might have been a bit of a child genius, because Google’s just unveiled a pair of glasses that basically does just that.

Dubbed the Google Goggles, the high-tech accessory flashes everything from maps to emails to locations of nearby friends on a tiny screen so that it looks like it’s being projected in front of you (at least, hypothetically—these are just a prototype by Project Glass, one of the “ideas” departments within Google).

According to the Daily Mail, there’s a built-in GPS system, so you could literally see arrows pointing you in the right direction, as well as camera and video functions for when you want to capture what you’re seeing ahead. Not to mention the fact that the glasses can be voice controlled, so you can also utilize Google Chat while you walk, work, or do anything, really. Think of all those times you’ve wanted to check an email while you were on a date, but didn’t want to be rude—now, you can do it guilt-free!
They even made a video to give you an idea of what one day in the life while wearing the Google glasses would be like

There is one little problem (besides the fact that we’ve probably got a few years to go until these land on shelves): they’re kind of ugly. Think of a cross between those wrap-around sunglasses perched on everyone’s forehead in the ‘90s and the headgear you were forced to wear as a kid to tame your overbite, and you’ve got an idea of what these puppies look like. You’d think Google, of all companies, would have had no trouble googling to find the name of an experienced accessories designer to help them out.

Christina Hendricks Talks to Conan About Mad Men Fashion: "It's a Little Bit of Work to Get Dressed"

Last night, the amazing Christina Hendricks appeared on Conan O'Brien to talk Mad Men fashion. What sartorial secrets did she reveal? Check out the video after the jump.

"Everything's incredibly authentic and meticulous," Christina Hendricks told Conan. "We have the full undergarments and the slips and then the thing over that. It's a little bit of work to get dressed."
As for her signature 1960s-era walk on the show?
"Well you put these thing on and they make you stand really upright and your body just naturally moves a certain way," she says. "I always thought that's what made that sort of walk happen—you put this undergarment on and this tight dress. My husband teases me and says that I walk that way at home as well."
So there you have it, ladies! Mad Men fashion is actually changing people's lives—and the way they walk!
