Analysis;
This article was published on tuesday April, 15 by Doug Gross.  I found this article on CNN.com . I thought this article looked interesting because i havent really heard of these glasses before and was amazed by what they can do. Reading more about how much trouble theyve caused makes me think that they arent worth getting if your getting discriminated . Depending on which side you are on this article can be good to read. the author wrote this story to inform people about what googles new device has caused and could prevent people from buying. http://www.cnn.com/2014/04/14/tech/mobile/google-glass-attack/index.html?hpt=us_t3

  1. I also have never heard of "google glasses". This sounds interesting. I think those people overreacted, someone should be able to wear those if they want.

  2. Is there even such thing as an anti-tech crowd in this day and age?

  3. And invasion of privacy, I can understand, because it's new technology and not everyone has gotten to figure out how it works, but to go so far as to make it physical and take it to an almost violent level as to forcefully take them off of her face is absurd.
