Two weeks ago, at the eyeforpharma event in Philadelphia, one of the speakers questioned the viability of Google Glass stating: “….nobody is going to wear these things….”

In my presentation, I challenged this assertion, predicting that these would be first used by First Responders and then within the surgical suite within the next 2 years. Well, clearly I WAS WRONG.

Last Thursday, Dr. Raphael Grossman made history by being the first (attributable) user of Google Glass to record a surgical procedure. While this is not exactly the use case I envisioned, it sets the stage for this transformative technology to become part of everyday life for specific, information intensive occupations.

As an aside, I am at the PanAgora Pharma event in NYC — in the audience: the first Glass wearer I have seen in public.
