What I Learned?
"This new technology, called augmented reality, blurs the line between what's real and what's computer-generated by enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell." from how stuff works
This glasses are supposed to make be handset tablets.
The technology of how they work hasnt been revealed yet.
They will cost 1500 dollars
They record, take pictures, share them, pin them etc.. shares location does everything.
They will be available in about 6 months.
Conclusion
Google glass in a few words is a handset tablet. They incorporate the real world with technology. I costs 1500 dollars and it will be available in 6 months.

Questions?
Will google glass change the world in a way we will regret?

My GPA 3.63. As you can see above the gpa average of all of the above I stand good for all.
The other college I am interested in is MIT. I have 9% in how much I would like it but only because of my GPA.

Today I learned that entering colleges isnt as hard as I though it was. I have 100% in NYU which is one of my priorities. I also learned that sometimes harvard isnt the best university for me. This affects my future because now I am considering new universities.

Google day #5

Today I started working in my plugin, its kind of impossible but in doing my best, especially because I need mine craft, and I don't have minecraft. Right now I am watching a tutorial it just gives us a bunch of commands. Its weird, the first step is to extract everything from mine craft and create a bin file. Then I have to copy it, and edit it in eclipse. To edit the block you need to now java. Some of the commands I know them from codecademy.

GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found a new program to create blocks easier. And to run that program I need another program and that is taking a while.
Its taking the whole class, ill have to do it home.
