They lost me the moment the two kids walked in dressed, happy and ready to go to school. I'm not sure I like that "Vision" of the future. Seems like theres gonna be a whole lotta new stuff I gotta learn in order to make it work.

I'd be more impressed w/ a wind shield that doesn't chip/crack when the smallest of stones/whatever hits it.  :soapbox:

Interesting vision.  Work with technology all the time, and I wonder if Corning is cooking up some of the technology to make all this glass work like they showed.  But just think of it, if you drop your all glass phone into water, it should still work.  You could even put it into the microwave.  I even bet there will be a label somewhere on the device that says "Microwave and Dishwasher Safe".  :P

BTW, did you catch that at the start, she was sleeping on the right side of the bed.  However, at the end, she jumped in on the left side?

Another medium for more advertising and other information somebody has determined needs to be shoved down our throats. Imagine walking through a shopping district and every window, door, bench, lighting fixture, escalator, floor, table, etc is a different advertising video. A new form of litter.

I want a glass tent with photovoltaic power to charge my phones, dish, tvs, computers, gps, and radios so I can go to the wilderness to get away from it all.  :cucumber:  :o

When the glass rectal thermometer was invented the experts predicted a future of glass like this.  :2vrolijk_21:

OMG! I sound like my Grandfather.  :nervous:
