Google Glass

I want to work a bit more on my listening skills and writing skills in English. So in this Ted talk they talk about the Google Glass. The talk is been giving by Sergey Brin. He's a Google co-founder. So what I'm gonna do is, make a little interview with him about the Google Glass. I will answer the questions with what I think he would say.


Hey Sergey Brin. I would like to ask you some questions about your Ted talk you just did. What was the main idea behind the Google Glass?

The idea behind the Google Glass is that we wanted people to connect more with each other but also connect to information. Nowadays when we want information the only thing we do is just looking at our phone. But how can you connect to people when the only thing you do is looking down? 

You’re right about that. But I got the feeling that when you put the glasses on, you can’t see everything what is going on?

That isn’t true. Because of that we put the display up high, out of your line of sight. So you can just look everywhere and make eye contact with the people around you.

That is really great designed. It really supports the main idea of the Google Glass. When did you guys start with this project?

Around two years. First prototypes we made where huge. It were just all cell phones strapped to your head. It’s was uncomfortable and heavy. But as you see now we made it very comfortable. That had been very important with the making of the Google Glass. But there was also an unexpected surprise that all of our original prototypes didn’t have.

It looks very comfortable , but also very light. What was this unexpected surprise?

The came was really unexpected. It was a little miracle that we were able to capture moments spent with family and friends. Because it takes a lot of time to take you phone or camera or something else to memorize that moment. With the Google Glass you just say : “Okay Google Glass take a picture”. It snaps an image within the blink of an eye.

That is something very cool. I wish you all the best in the future with the Google Glass. Thanks for this interview.

Thank you. It was a pleasure to have this interview.
