Been very interested in keeping up with the different reviews that are circulating from users of Google glass and analysing the different usages the people put the product through. If you look a little closer you could actually see how this product is better placed for being used in 3rd world countries more than anywhere else.
If you are from a 3rd world country like myself , and been watching what’s happening specially if pay a close look at the arab world you would have figured by now that education and access to basic services is actually our main problem. Demand for education and basic human services is at its peak yet supply and most importantly method and quality of supply is the main issue. This is fuelled by years of low spend on basic services and the centralised manner in which most 3rd world countries operate.
Now looking at the Google glass and how it can be put to action in solving many of our major problems here is a now where close to a comprehensive list :
1. Imagine if medical operations and procedures can be broadcasted all around education facilities spread across the country where usually the most advanced medical procedures are happening in the capital city
2. Imagine engineering students being able to see real machinery at work instead of studying them theoretically in text books .
3. Imagine patients living in a remote area where local medical facilities do not have the needed skilled personnel , but those personnel have google glass to broadcast the patient status live to a more experienced doctor in another city or even country
4.Imagine border security scanning images of people coming in , and quickly matching them to a central database instead of manual phone call or broadcast
5.Imagine crime scene investigators streaming evidence to central labs in capital cities
…imagine…imagine & imagine…
Prospects are just enormous , and looking at the price of the Google glass and how mass production might help driving its costs down , it would become and a minor investment that is just worth making.
