You're missing the fact that the only way to interface with it is by voice. If you want to send a message to another person, you need to speak it out loud. If that person is nearby, it's not really telepathy, it's just talking.

Google glass isn't going to get a bunch of apps or options, because nobody is going to go around saying things like 'ok glass scroll left', 'ok glass install/open instagram', 'ok glass show me his profile'.

Yes, the interface needs to be improved/replaced before what I'm talking about is practical, even if it's so you can whisper rather than speak at normal volume. Personally, I do not think using voice as an interface is the correct way forward with these devices at all.

I haven't many ideas for this, my best guess would be using the eye to control it but then that has many challenges - how would we click?

I wonder how Glass will handle other people randomly shouting out instructions.

I guess what people in the top rungs in society will have in common with those at the bottom is the tendency to randomly shout things.
