The 21st century has been dubbed the 'technological era' due to the rapid growth in all telecommunications. Now, in 2014, we see a growth in not only telecommunications, but in the way we are perceiving our world on a daily basis. With Google's new Google Glass Project, we are now able to gain information from the internet through a wire-less and hands-free device.



The Google Glass Project is one of the most up-to-date forms of telecommunication. In fact, it takes telecommunication one step further in that the Google Glass wearer is not communicating with other individuals, but is rather communicating with Google and the internet itself. It utilizes natural voice commands to search the internet and operate all further functions completed beyond the search engine results.

The Google Glass device takes form in a convenient and discrete pair of spectacles. The screen placed before the wearer's eyes allows one to view all Google functions as if you were using a traditional computer monitor. The project is similar to a smartphone, but is completely hands-free allowing one to continue with everyday living while using the internet.

The Google Glass Project began its prototype testing in April 2012 and it was in May 2012 Google Glass demonstrated the product to the public. There are various features that assist the wearer in using the glass including a touch pad discretely locate on the side of the Google Glass. This allows one to scroll through the results obtained.

The sliding backward shows different current events, and the sliding forwards shows past events that have occurred like phone calls and Google circle updates. Google Glass also presents with a camera feature that allows the wearer to photograph and record HD videos. It should be noted that while the video is recording, the screen will remain on and will respond to voice commands.
