Its google time

I believe Google is going to be  talk of the town next week as it is to  reveal its project glass virtual reality glasses idea. http://money.cnn.com/2012/04/04/technology/google-project-glassThe glasses as displayed in the image are to take the functions of a smart phone. The lens is to  display text messages,maps, reminders, videos charts and also , take pictures through the usage of activated voice commands.


 Google has not yet decided the official release of this devise, it is still to be decided wether the glasses should be " wirelessly powered by the smartphone or wether theyshould be stand-alone".http://money.cnn.com/2012/04/04/technology/google-project-glass

My question is is our society  becoming  culturally lost in the world of technological innovation? It seem as though our society is moving into a crisis whereby new technological tools are created to createisolation?

Will future generations even need to go to school or will there be a technological devise programmed to teach subjects?

The roots in the new age

The question today is, is  Nokia trying to win back the hearts of its hopefulls?. Is Nokia trying to enhance the social network as we know it or is it adding to a choice variety of tablet?. Could Nokia have spotted an innovation that its competitors such as Apple and Samsung have not?.What is it that the new Nokia tablet has that other competitors such as Apple and Samsung are not fulfilling?. As a public relations practitioner I feel that Nokia is trying to enhance its social network what do you think?
