Entertainment and Multimedia on the Internet


A million and one things to do and information for you to find out; does anyone even use the physical library anymore? Or to even watch the television for the most update news? 
Certainly businesses are thinking along the similar strand of argument of the technology savvy - the Internet with its enticing world of entertainment - music, video, animation, gaming, and podcasting - is claiming the coveted title of being the top form of media. 
Multimedia devices (or mainly just the mobile phone) is now an ubiquitous presence in the twenty first century, where everyone has a pocket friendly device to satiate their appetite for information on the go. Two dominating forms of mobile platforms , the Android and Apple operating systems, have been constantly innovating to provide different forms of entertainment for the masses. 
A most recent invention on Google's part is the Google Glass, an invention centering on the idea of wearable technology, to provide constant easy access to multimedia for the people. Google Glass is similar to the standard glasses short sighted people are made to wear, to aid in your "sight" is one of the aims of the Google Glass. A wearable computer which displays information in a smartphone like manner, without the hassle of handling a handheld device. 

Having a multimedia device that is able to do things your smartphone is able to, without the hassle? I'm sold. 



Although there are probable problems coming up..... where boys will probably catch their football matches while on a date..


And loopholes that allow assholes to exist...

There is a Project Glass coming right up, led by Babak Parviz, where there are plans (and possibly in the making) to put displays on contact lenses. I surely hope their contact lenses are of a certain wearable condition, personally though, how are they going to dispose of the lenses?
