Google Glass is a Hands free and heads up technology that is less distracting then pulling out your device. It even frees up the ear similar to a hearing aid. Also taking away the time that it takes to pull out your device and missing that important message, call, or even that special moment. Another is being disabled, imagine the things it can assist with; for example not being able to take pictures/record, or even answering a phone calls, but with Google glass it can aid with all of this by simply using voice recognition. Therefore, Google glass should be used to assist the disabled, because it could make them feel more self-sufficient.
