Google Glass Competitor 'Telepathy' Aims to Get to Market First

What's a big tech release like  Google Glass  without a little competition? Tokyo-based entrepreneur Takahito Iguchi, pictured above, has created a wearable computing device called Telepathy One and — with a built-in camera, a micro-projection screen and a sleek, wraparound design — the gadget looks to be a cheaper alternative to  Google 's upcoming launch. Iguchi and his team demonstrated two prototypes of the device at a press conference in New York. Similar to Google Glass, the headset's "screen" aligns with the wearer's right eye. The ear buds, as you can see below, provide audio and hold the device onto your head. It's surprisingly lightweight, but I had some trouble adjusting the headset well enough to see its display — after fidgeting for a minute, I had to hold it in place. The headset's main purpose, Iguchi said, is to easily share videos and intimate moments in real time, all the while wearing a "cool, stylish" device.

Here's the great thing about that: By and large,   you   control what your online presence looks like and includes. But that doesn't only mean thinking twice about photos you post and links you share. The term "social resume" is beginning to gain traction, and refers to digital enhancements to the traditional paper or PDF curriculum vitae. LinkedIn is likely the first social-resume tool that comes to mind, but other sites such as Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr can be just as helpful. There are also services such as   ResumeSocial , VisualCV   and   Razume   that offer more options for job seeke
