After reading the article, I was really surprised to find out that snapchat didn't decide to sell them at big stores across the world. I was surprised by this because if they did they probanly would have made a lot of money by now. I was also surprised that the glasses only came in three colors and two ofthem are teal and coral. I was surprised by this because one of them were not yellow, and that coral and teal are not "popular" colors. The last thing I was surprised about was that when I saw that all you had to do to recharge it, was to just put it back in the case. This surprised me because when I looked at the first picture I didn't see any charger device.

I agree with you Brian that it was surprising the way that you put the glasses to charge. I like how you had many reasons about what surprised you. Good job.

Bryan I agree with everything you said. I was surprised too when I saw they weren't sold in big stores. Also, about the "popular" colors, I don't know they put those colors but I do agree with you. And lastly, I think that it was great that their charger is just a little case and it was good that you mentioned it. Good job Bryan!!

After reading the article, I was really surprised to find out that there was another way to do Snapchat. Instead of always having to take out your phone to use this app, you could just take out this pair of sunglasses and record a small video by a touch of a button. These sunglasses can be activated to record 30 seconds, but for Snapchat on the phone, it can only record 10 seconds. What also surprised me was the way that these sunglasses charge. You simply have to put the sunglasses in a bright yellow case that comes with the purchase. That is what surprises me about the Spectacles.

After reading the article, I was really surprised to find out that the the glasses were one hundred and thirty dollars! That is surprising to me because it would be a bit more expensive. I thought it would cost more because since the glasses are new everyone would want them, so the company can get more money. The second thing that I was surprised about is they only had three colors! That is surprising to me because maybe some people don’t like any of the colors. Also it is surprising because snapchat’s main color on the app is yellow. It is weird because they could of made the product with the main color of their app color. The next thing that I was surprised about (and not in a bad way) is that you can charge the glasses in the case that it comes in. I was surprised about that because there is no separate charger for the spectacles. That would come in handy because I lose chargers all the time! The last thing that I was surprised about is the picture with the three people that they advertized with. I mean to some people it fine, but in my opinion it's kinda weird. I think it's weird because especially most of the buyers are kids or teens and obviously for some people their parents have to check first and if they see the picture the parents will most likely say no or i’ll think about it. Just my opinion!

After reading the article, I was really surprised to find out that when you record a video on your Spectacles, it could be downloaded onto your phone. This surprised me because it didn't mention anything about the type of cable to use or if it came with the package. Another thing that surprised me was that if you charged your Spectacles four times, you have to charge the case itself. This surprised me because usually when you charge a phone or any electronic device, you wouldn't have to charge the cable or outlet. With the Spectacles, you have to charge the case which charges the Spectacles.

After reading this article, I was really surprised to find out was that the sunglasses case could charge the glasses for you and you do not have to stop using them when they are dead. This surprised me because a lot of phones have cases that can charge your phone for you but they usually can only charge it 1 time until you have to recharge it but the Snapchat spectacles can charge it about 4 times. Another thing that surprised me was that their colors are black, teal and coral. This surprised me because the Snapchat logo is yellow so it would make sense that they are yellow but instead they went with colors that stand out. The last thing that surprised me when I read this is that it can save things on the glasses. This surprised me because most sunglasses do not have the power to do that and it is really cool how they can even save videos on them and you do not have to take out your phone and do it.

Great response! I agree that they should have made the a spectacle yellow since that's snapchat's main color. I dose make more sense to have at least one of the colors be yellow.

While reading the article, I was really surprised that you could charge your glasses in the case that comes with your purchase. Instead of having to plug it in you just put it in your case. Which is different because we now have to plug in our phones so that is a great thing. I was also surprised that it only came in 3 colors becasue I would think that if it is that big it would be in more colors. Snapchat is a great app and it is even more great that there is now glasses that you could use. That is what surprised me while reading this article.

Reading this article made me surprised me on how they got to make a new product for snap chat, and made sunglasses with a camera on it. It also is cheaper than the google sunglasses. The spectacles have made stores in New York. If it runs out of battery you can even charge on your sunglasses case! This is what surprised me about the Snap Chat Spectacles.

After reading the article, I was really surprised to find out is that they only cost 130 dollars since the google sunglasses cost 1500 dollars which is way more when the spectacles have a huge demand to but the company did not raise the price like the google sunglass company did. Another thing that surprised me is that you can charge the Spectacles by putting it back into the bright yellow sunglass case that comes when you buy the spectacles. What’s great is that the portable case stores enough power to charge the sunglasses about four times, before the case itself needs to charge. Also that they only have 3 colors and popular companies like that usually have more options and becuase they did not use the main color for 1 of the glass which is yellow.

After reading the article, I was really surprised to find out that you could charge the Snapchat Spectacle with the bright yellow case it comes with. I'm surprised because you could charge it with the case. If your Spectacles runs out of battery, you can just put it in its case instead of having to go to an outlet to charge it. I think that's pretty cool and convenient.

After reading the article, I was really surprised to find out that you can charge the snapchat glasses just by putting it into it's case. The case has to be recharged every 4 times you put the sunglasses into the case. I feel this way because usually the only way to charge something is by a plug and it does not have one except for the case. I am also surprised because it saves the footage in the sunglasses. I feel this way because I never knew there could be something like sunglasses that could save footage. I was surprised that the camera was not as visible because the google glasses have a camera that is visible. I also can’t believe that the sunglasses cost only $130 whereas the google glasses cost $1,500.

After reading this article I was surprised to find out that the spectacles are only $130. It's surprising because spectacles that are so popular and just came out, seem pretty cheap for a very recent releasement. I was also surprised that it has its own case that you can use to charge them with on the go, up to FOUR times! It was also pretty cool that if you are not a phone user yet or don't have snapchat yet, you can store the videos you recorded in the glasses! I was sad that they only had those little machines that they used to sell the spectacles only in select cities. So, if I wanted one I would have to see what city they had it in, travel all the way there, and pay $130 to get them. Or go to New York to that little store, which is semi-permanent to try and get them. Seems like a pretty tough process just to get a pair of those glasses. But I was surprised to find out that you can record videos up to ten seconds back to back, and they come in three different colors. Overall the snapchat spectacles are a very creative idea that has been put out there.

After reading this article, I was really surprised to find out that the snapchat glasses won't fall off your face when you're things. For example the video showed some kids skateboarding and the glasses didn't come off. Most sunglasses would stay on when you skateboard regularly but not when you do a bunch of tricks that involve spinning in the air and flipping.

After reading this article, I was really surprised to find out that you can record and download videos that can be shared with your friends and family. I am really surprised about this because I didn't know that glasses can record videos. I always thought that you have to record it on your phone because it has a camera. I was also surprised that you can recharge the sunglasses if the camera runs out of battery. I can't believe that the case can store enough power to charge the sunglasses 4 times!

After reading the article, I was really surprised to find out that they are only $130 and the google glasses are $1,500 and the sunglasses are better. I was really surprised that it has a case that is a portable charger and the portable charger has enough energy to recharge the sunglasses four times and you can charge the sunglass case! Also you can record and you can add the pictures and videos to your phone. I am very surprised that they don't sell these in big stores because if they did then they would make a lot of money because a lot of people would buy them because they are cheap.

The Snapchat Sunglasses are really useful and safer because if someone is driving a car and want to show their surroundings on Snapchat with their phone they might crash, so these sunglasses are really useful because you can just press a button and the sunglasses will record everything you see but the phone wont because you will have to look at it.

Nice thinking, Amir. I actually did not think of that but i totally agree with you. Also if you want to record a video with your phone you would have to hold the phone up with your hands which significantly increases your chances of crashing because you don't have immediate response to the wheel if say a car turns in front of you.

What I was really surprised about is that Snapchat, such a simple concept, is so popular and they are now even making special glasses! Also, I'm surprised that they didn't put them into big name stores after almost 3 weeks! I would think they would try to get them into Best Buy or something along those lines. I thought that they would make the sunglasses more expensive also. I think that there color choice is weird, not having yellow, Snapchat's main color, and not having white which would be quite fashionable. I am also surprises that they didn't advertise this more. I hadn't heard about this until now! That is what I was surprised about.

After reading this article, I thought how can there be such a big difference in the prices was it just for profit or was it the cost of the technology. If it was because of the technology then how did snapchat put a camera in glasses for $150 USD compared to google who maid the glasses $1,500USD. I want to know why there is such a big difference in cost.

After I read this article I was surprised that the only thing you had to do to charge them was putting them in the case. I was also surprised that they didn't come in more colors because the colors aren't very popular. I was also surprised with the prices because if they would have sold them for the original price, $1,500 USD, they would have gotten more popular and would have more money by now. I would like to know why they changed the price.

After I read this article I was surprised that this company made a pair of sunglasses that can record a video and post it. The price of it is also significantly lower than google glasses. Being able to make a wearable video recorder is definitely of very cool achievement.

After reading this article, I was really surprised to find out was that the sunglasses case could recharge the snapchat spectacle's more than once or twice. Usually It is just maybe once or twice and then you would have to recharge the sunglasses case. Also the fact that they do not want many people to really have it. I sort of understand what they are doing less of the product there is more demand the height they can put the price. So that is what surprised me about the Snapchat spectacles.

Wow these sunglasses are awesome. After reading this article I was surprised about a couple of things even though I already knew a few facts about the Snapchat Spectacles I learned a lot. There were a few thing that surprised me. One thing that was surprising to me was that one of the colors was not yellow or white because yellow and white are the colors of the Snapchat app. So if you think about it you can't get the Snapchat Spectacles in the apps theme colors. The second thing that surprised me was the actual price of the of the Snapcat Spectacles. The reason for this is because think about it, these sunglasses come from Snapchat a 2.1 billion dollar company. So that means they could have put the price up to what ever they wanted, they could have put it up to something matching the google glasses or even going above them. Also the glasses can take pictures and videos with on simple touch of a button, and that sure did surprise me. The last thing that I will tell you that surprised me was how you can charge the sunglasses in the case that comes with it. You don't have to charge it using wires or anything like that just put it in the case and it will charge the Spectacles four time until it need to recharge it self. This is some future technology right here sunglasses that can take videos and sunglasses that can get charged by putting it in it's own case. Over all I would say that the new Snapchat Spectacles are a big and good step forward for technology in the future in my opinion.

Nice job Ansel! I like how you did multiple things that surprised you. I actually did not think of your first reason about the theme colors of the app. I think you thought outside the box. The charging surprised me a little because it is not a huge step in my opinion. The reason being that we already have magnetic charging so I was not surprised that much that you could charge it when putting it in it's case.

Hi Ansel, I liked how you thought out of the box and mentioned why the Spectacles didn't have a white and yellow color because that is the Snapchat app's color. I also agree that this is a new beginning to future technology because glasses that can record is already astonishing.

After reading this article I was surprised that they were only $130. Compared to the Google Goggles or other glasses. This has a camera and storage and some high quality cameras only are about $800. The Snapchat Spectacles are not too expensive and they can't really be considered cheap to an average person. This is what surprised me after reading the article "The Snapchat Spectacles are as Cool as the App."

After reading the article, I was surprised that the Snapchat Spectacles were able to be sunglasses, record, and post videos. I also liked how there was a case that comes with it that would charge the glasses. I like how the glasses had a LED light on its frame that would warn people that were being recorded. Lastly, I was astonished that the SnapChat Spectacles weren't sold in bigger stores and were so uncommon to find and because it seemed so popular. This is why I was so surprised about the Snapchat Spectacles in this article.
