Look at what's happening here. Overwhelmingly, across the tech blogs, feathers are a bit ruffled and support still given to Google Glass. Close and protect the ranks! There is a bit of sensitivity because not only is the product being ridiculed but also the disconnect that tech journalists often demonstrate when it comes to reviewing something in terms of the average Joe. The comments under the articles posted by the more general consumer outlets show, for the most part, an identification with the absurdity demonstrated by the parody. As tech takes a greater and greater position in our society, how will we deal with divide in both expectations, values and more? Why does it exist? What does it say about us as a culture? Interesting how a little skit can make us face ourselves in such a bare manner. Looks like we can see even more as a result of Google Glass, huh?
Comments abound regarding the "Saturday Night Live" parody on the upcoming Google Glass product. The show's infamous "Weekend Update" segment features a would-be tech reporter who reviews Google Glass during their news segment only to find repeated bugs and awkward movements yet still reports that the product is amazing. For any of us who have ever been frustrated with a new tech gadget, the product errors are dead on. Let's look at what the technorati and others have to say about the piece!
