smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about ones surroundings. so, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you. as far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isnt something anybody needs, said sam biddle, who writes for g. were accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things, he added, and the average consumer isnt gonna be able to afford another device (装置) thats hundreds and hundreds of dollars. 9to5google publisher seth weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will

online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship problems, or problems at home.sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as bullying or arguments. going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal (非法的) aims. children must be made aware of both the good things and the danger.to keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. just as you decide which tv programs are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children
