a person went up to me in a supermarket one time, and warmly greeted me- It was obvious that she well knew me, at least, even though I had not a clue as to who she was. so I had to pretend that I knew what was going on, that was SO exhausting. 
That happens to me all the time. Once my best friend's aunt, who I have met on several occasions, showed up at the book store I was hanging out in and said hi and started talking to me. It wasn't until she mentioned my friend's name that I remembered who she was; she reminded me slightly of my old maths teacher, but I knew that couldn't possibly be who she was. I've also sat through 15 week classes at university only to see the professor again on campus once the semester is over, and have no idea who they are, only that I vaguely know them from somewhere. Whenever my mother has her friends or acquaintances over at the house I always have to ask beforehand if I've met them before, and she usually says yes, but when I see them I have no recollection of ever having known them. The worst is when they ask, "Hey, remember me?" and I have to lie and say yes, when in fact had they not asked me that, I wouldn't know them from Adam.
if google glass can save us collectively from such a fate, then I will get a pair one day.

I think with me, even an ID might not help in some circumstances, I would need a reminder of where and when I met the person.

since google glass will be capable of recording as well as facial recognition [eventually] that would be a natural app for them to remember a face and flash info about a recurrence of said face along with pertinent info such as "last met at the meeting on December 3, 2013" or something like that.
wow a man with a vision for the future (or a vision of the visions of the future) or something like that!

these days, if I could think of something, it means that it already was thought of long before I thought of it. this tech has long existed but so far google glass would be the first public unveiling of the technology for the use of private citizens rather than a gov't agency.

Sir, you give yourself too little credit - sometimes I just want to follow you around and collect blabbyisms and publish them in a book. You are very imaginative and you have a way with words.

But it would be your book, I could help you collect them from the posts though. I'd just take the normal publisher's cut.
