Essay / From virtual reality to reality By Google Glass
In the long history of glasses, from the first ordinary glass in the 13th century to the first bifocal glasses in the 18th century, we have access to Google Glasses in the 21st century to experiment magnificent images of the world around us, but what consequences does this new technology have on our future? Most people use glasses for different reasons like to see the world better or to protect their eyes from the sun's rays and most people use camera to record a specific moment in their life. In fact, the role of cameras changes over time, electronic eyes that start from a small area and then disperse everywhere. But with the arrival of Google Glass, this role completely changes; because it enters into every moment of our lives. In order to understand the concept of this new technology, we need to know more about the effect of Google Glasses in our lives and how they may differ from other technologies such as computer, and also by looking at online interactions and offline. Regarding the psychological approach, different social roles create a different society.

By the way, I can look at you but you can't look at me, this creates uncertainty for those who don't...... middle of paper ...... in conclusion, the story of Google Glass is not the user's story but it is the story of all the others who are in front of this glass. The consequence of this new technology could be to miss one of the important parts of our lives which is our privacy. It should be noted that this technology is useful in certain aspects of our lives but not from all angles. In fact, it is possible to assume that this technology will destroy our privacy by increasing unnecessary surveillance and could have a negative effect on people's behavior because they are faced with an unfamiliar space and situation. Although at the moment this new technology seems to be a problematic issue for some aspects of human life, but after knowing enough information and behavioral experiments respecting individual and social privacy rules, it could be possible to use Google Glass as part of our lives.
