Presuming that the Mayan were wrong and the world does not end on 12-21-12, which is likely, then Google might make us glad to be around for 2013.
Slate reports: "The
New York Times’ Nick Bilton
reports that Google is preparing to take its long-rumored
augmented-reality glasses
to market by the end of the year. The product—known as “heads-up
display glasses”—would allow users to get extra information about their
surroundings, like, say, reviews of
a restaurant. “The people familiar
with the Google glasses said they would be Android-based, and will
include a small screen that will sit a few inches from someone’s eye.
They will also have a 3G or 4G data connection and a number of sensors
including motion and GPS,” Bilton reports. The screen will appear on

smartphone, roughly $250 to $600, and like a smartphone, they will be
intended for occasional use, not all-day wear."
