Google Glass man treated for addiction

An American man has been admitted into the US navy’s substance abuse programme after showing signs of addiction to Google Glass.

According to the doctors at the Substance Abuse and Recovery Programme (Sarp), the man, who was initially admitted for alcoholism treatment, wore Google’s smart headset for up to 18 hours a day, and reported feeling irritable and aggressive when stripped of the wearable technology.

This was diagnosed as internet addiction disorder (IAD).
