Ultimately it\u2019s difficult to assess how a tool like Glass might change our information habits and everyday behavior, simply because there\u2019s so little software for it now. \u201cGlass is more of a question than an answer,\u201d in the words of Astro Teller, who heads Google X, the company\u2019s \u201cmoon shot\u201d skunk works, which supervised Glass\u2019s development; he says he expects to be surprised by what emerges in the way of software.
