Actually, Steve Mann was doing this fifteen years ago. There are web pages describing his wearables that literally haven't been updated for a decade. Think about that for a second. Bill Clinton was president when this was cutting edge stuff. And the Glass hardware looks just as stupid and dorky as the hardware Mann built himself.

You are nuts if you think Glass looks as dorky as Mann's stuff. Be serious, please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wearcompevolution2.jpg
It puzzles me I don't see much mention that Steve Mann was physically assaulted because of his glass hardware and discuss the reasons for it in relation to Google Glass.

More like going on 30 years, actually.
