Topic: Google Glasses.
Source: Gizmodo
Summary: So Google has come out with a little add-on to glasses that pretty much makes sci-fi seem real. They are often associated with "holo-glasses", or "HUD's" (Heads Up Displays), but in non-geek terms, it is a device that can take first person video, and supposedly, operate like a portable, wearable,
computer!
Reaction: I. AM. AMAZED. Augmented reality goggles have been around for years, but now Google has made a sleeker, lighter, and all around more chic design. In my personal opinion I think it will help us run day to day task, apps, and read, all in one device. This brings me to the fact that, unexpectedly, the video came out crystal clear! On the page I linked above, its got some blur, but also, think about how much less there is on the Google glasses than there is on your smart phone.
World impact: This will make the world stop. It will either help or hinder, think about how many wrecks are caused by texting? Yeah its a hands free device, but it also takes your vision too. But on the flip-side, think about how many hours you'll save by doing everything you would usually have to do on a monitor, doing it EVERYWHERE. Oh, the wonders of technology.

Hands down, this post is amazing! I love the topic of your Weekly Current Event, because it's so cool! I would definitely buy a pair of Google Glasses for my own use. I like how you included that many people die from texting while driving. This item can easily be mistaken for a perfect and efficient piece of technology, that has no flaws or risks. You showed the risks, and you pointed out that this item can be considered a form of false advertising. Although this post is fantastic, I do have a few suggestions. In the first few sentences in your reaction paragraph, you capitalized and put periods between every word. I would suggest that you not to capitalize every word. I would also suggest that you make an awesome sentence out of those words instead of making little one word sentences. One correction I have includes adding an 's' to the word 'task' in your reaction paragraph. Overall, this is a splendid blog post, and I can't wait to read the next one you post!
I really like your topic for this current event. It's one of the best current events I have read in a long time. I liked what you wrote for your world impact you included the good and the bad. I can't wait top read your next blog post.
