I published a paper on Google Glass(tm) and Internet Addiction Disorder, and it is available online until November 29!
* This is the first reported case of internet addiction disorder involving the problematic use of Google Glass(tm).
* Excessive and problematic uses of Google Glass(tm) are associated with involuntary movements to the temple area and short-term memory problems.
* Frustration and irritability are related to withdrawing from excessive use of Google Glass(tm) in our patient.

It seems that nearly all major news outlets have taken this paper and provided their own spin on things too:

I didn't even know such thing as Google Glass existed! Thank you for sharing the paper and the news. It is very informative.
