Addicted to Google Glass

After wearing his Google Glass for up to 18 hours a day it’s not surprising that a 31 year-old San Diego resident became addicted. Though the product isn’t available for sale on store shelves, it is reported to have caused the first case of internet addiction disorder. The man had a history of had a history of mood disorder, including issues with depression, anxiety, social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, alcohol, and tobacco.

The internet can consume people’s lives and unfortunately when you are able to access it at anytime from anywhere while doing anything it becomes inevitable. It would be hard not to become reliant on the Google Glass because it makes life so much easier and can do so many things for you. I think if the product becomes widespread so will its downfalls. The world isn’t ready to be surrounded by a technology like that.
