Google Glass has generated more excitement in the tech industry than any product since the Apple iPad in 2010. But, before we crown it as an industry revolutionizer, let's not forget that Google Glass still doesn’t have a clear response to the one big question that all revolutionary products must answer:

How does it make my life better?

Every game-changing product innovation over the past three decades had a very simple answer to that question. For example, the iPhone gave you the Internet in your pocket. The BlackBerry gave you email on your phone. The Macintosh (and later Windows) gave you a computer you could use without typing in computer codes.

Those were game changers. They made big promises, and they delivered.

What's the big promise with Google Glass? We still don’t have a good answer.

2. You can wash dishes and surf the internet. nt

3. Hands-free recording can be useful in some circumstances.

Other than that, I'm not sure what practical use it can have.

4. Not much, but stay tuned for the 4th or 5th generation.

I can think of thousands of uses for a personal heads-up display.

5. Hands-free discreet browsing, apps and photography?

6. You can surf the web while walking, driving, having sex, etc....

Who wouldn't want one?
