Technology companies are researching ways to make glasses into wearable computers Perhaps these will one day replace smartphones Future glasses may have a function that is completely apart from correcting vision They may look like the glasses of the past, with a headband that runs across your forehead and hooks behind each ear But instead of having lenses, they may hold a partially transparent screen in front of your eyes Using this screen, you may be able to make calls, browse the Internet, and get directions In addition to a screen, future glasses may have an earpiece, speaker, and microphone, which may allow you to control the device through speech If you actually need glasses to correct your vision, however, you may have to hope that these futuristic features can be built into regular glasses The glasses of the future sound very convenient, but it’s likely they will have some unforeseen side effects It would be a good idea to study their impact before we start wearing screens in front of our eyes all the time Question 43: What is the passage mainly about?
