Kiss your Glass goodbye: Google mothballs techno-specs (for now)

Glass has amazing potential that most can't even envision yet. It provides the ability augment the human brain much in the same was the movie Limitless describes but via a computer/network rather than a chemical/biological solution.

It most certainly does not.

Limitless centres around chemically enhancing your IQ such that you are able to grasp concepts quicker, and understand far more complicated ideas than you could without the enhancement. Glass simply provides enhanced access to information - there is no cognitive improvement to aid comprehension. Access to information != understanding.

That isn't to say Glass was without its uses, only that those uses are, and will always be, so much less than chemically adding a digit to your IQ per the Limitless plot.
