This popularity has a lot to do with the weight Google’s name carries due to their omniscient presence on the Web. Still, when it comes to the practical application of this particular piece of wearable tech, a lot of people are unsure what Google Glass actually brings to the table. Google has assured us that this will be a life changing tool that is going to make doing a lot of things a lot different. Here are some concrete example of its use.
