As technology progresses at a rapid rate and as we progress along with it, we must be prepared for whatever comes our way.

Google Glass is believed to be the future of hands-free technology and could change our perspective on how we see the world.

Jeffery Powers of “Geekazine” was one of the first to get Google Glass, and he is still one of the lucky few to have one.

In its simplest form, Powers explained Google Glass as a “type of Bluetooth headset that adds video.”

Fitting on your head like a regular pair of glasses, Google Glass is a convenient and effective way to have information displayed.

Being able to help you with anything from grocery shopping to checking the score of the game, Google Glass could very well be the future.

Jeffery made a strong example on how Google Glass could help the healthcare industry.

“Can you imagine if an EMS had Google Glass, and could have doctors watching and helping them during an emergency?” Jeffery said.

He also saw it as the future for airline pilots and how they map their routes.

“I prefer to call it the future in the world of wearable technology and the interconnection to our soul,” Powers said.

Google Glass does not just have uses in the business world but also in the consumer world.

Shocking the crowd by mirroring his Google Glass directly to his phone, Jeffery went on to show the possibilities of Google Glass.

“With Google Glass, it is a hands-free world. You are always connected and can always get information,” business and accounting major Marcia Harr Bailey said. “I hope this will encourage conversation about innovation and technology.”

Following the presentation, attendants were able to hold a discussion period with Powers.

The consumer version of Google Glass is expected to hit the market in mid-2014, being priced around $400 for a 16 GB-edition.
