I'm not talking about the gogles but the glass type of glasses, why the hell???

1) They turn dark when exposed to full sunlight. Saves you the trouble of getting "always dark" ones out every time you go planetside.
2) Think "google glass". They are computer readouts.
3) Fashion statement
4) I wish to live with the consequences if a past event. The glasses are a reminder. Like how some people keep scars.

Not everyone is blessed by deepset eyes and a strong brow ridge like the Brutor... that can take a punch or 57 and only a lil squint will save the eyeball... alot of poor google eyed Amarrian pansies need safety eyeglasses just to get into a fistfight.

So the reason is safety... just saying.

Why are people still misspelling words in the future when we have spell check everywhere?

Corrective eye surgery is an elective procedure and not covered by Obamacare which is still in place because the citizens of EVE are still on the hook for the funding deficit.

Looks are a legit complaint.

But if you ever had eye surgery, you'd understand prosthetics that are so light these days, are much better than the pain for weeks of surgery.

This is a game where you can get seriously sick taking drugs, even. If the future can't remove it by default, they certainly can't remove the pain!

Probably for the same reason there are skill books.

Also, it's a fashion statement, get with the program.


Books that we "inject"

Why are people still misspelling words in the present? Your internet browser even gives you a red squiggly line for misspelled words. What the hell?

Minor cloning accident.
No big deal.
I knew that "budget grade clone" was a bad idea.
