Update: A Google spokesperson responds: "It is still very early days for Glass, and we expect that as with other new technologies, such as cell phones, behaviors and social norms will develop over time."

If that is not the most telling quote of all....... Don't worry, we will make it socially acceptable to post your face wherever and whenever we wish with or without your consent.

I absolutely love the saying "I have nothing to hide, so I don't care."
Till you want to hide something, or just don't want anyone knowing, and no longer have the option of not having plastered everywhere.
"That will never happen to me, the world is too large and I am too insignificant"
Till your face is plastered all over the web cause of something incredibly stupid that you did or might have happened to you that would not otherwise have been known.

Why life through Google Glass should be for our eyes only - CNN.com

Have a nice day? :shock:

remember though

When in public, there is no reasonable expectation to the right to privacy. Anyone can take your picture at any time they wish and do what they want with it. There are only a couple of things they can't do. And I believe that is, use your picture or likeness to advertise without consent and an offer for compensation of some kind, or defamatory reasons, or anything of an explicit nature.
Other than that, we are all fair game.

I don't know all the laws surrounding public picture taking, but those I believe are some.
And Google doesn't care what the laws state really. If they can gather your information and get away with it, they don't care,
just run a search on google and privacy concerns. You will be busy for a while reading.

Trust me someone is going to do something stupid, and if it gets on YouTube you can bet the lawyers will find an opening in the law. Once that opening has been turned loose the door will be open for all who sometimes do foolish things.

The wife was in the hospital and then a care home a couple weeks last summer and both institutions had a no picture rule due to the HIPPA privacy laws.

I've always wanted to wear my smartphone (in the case Windows Phone because if you examine the google glass UI, it's by far too similar to Windows Phone to be original) on my face.

Said no one ever.

just keep the following in mind.....

This next generation, will not know a world that was not linked in to everything
They will not know a world without facebook.
They will not know a world without a smartphone.
They will not know a world that didn't spill every minute of your life on the net, via social networks.
They will not understand or know what privacy really means.

Orwellian Days are upon us, and the tidal wave is only growing.

one of my favorite sayings,,,, "Throw a frog in hot water and he will jump out, put him in cold water and turn on the heat and he will sit there till he boils"....

And my newest favorite saying.,.... "panem et circenses"
I encourage you all to look it up.

Maybe it is going to take something extreme like this to make the public stand up and shout.

Angela Merkel might have something to say.

It is also a bit of a gift for Mr Weicz.

Odd - Google must know MS can't compete with them by building a better mousetrap - so, what else are MS going to do ?

And the hits keep coming....

Beyond that there are social media marketing ideas.

Govil told us to imagine if a famous athlete, say Serena Williams, was wearing these and automatically updates from the shoes were flowing into her social media accounts with information about how fast she was moving.

But all of these are just ideas for the moment, ideas Google's thinking about for others as it thinks about growing its core business. "We're not getting into the shoe business," Govil said. "We are in the social network and advertising business."

Well if they could make the units communicate with one another they could sell subscriptions to a service that would block your unit from taking pictures of the subscriber :) all sorts of money grubbing if we can get our heads together. Maybe automatically transmit your check account number so the other users can deposit royalties automatically.

Honestly, google glasses seems cool, but I can't really see it (no pun intended) being a mainstream thing. It's more like a neat Bluetooth accessory for your smartphone, but DEATHLY expensive for my taste or many other's as well. I don't want to be barraged with news feed information every SECOND of the day, I would rather talk face to face to someone and not have a distracting thing in the way, and it quite frankly looks weird to me. It's not.... proper? The guy that lead the design team for it says that smartphones are "emasculating" but he obviously hasn't seen what wearing glasses looks like....

As it is right now, I could see it being used if you're walking through a busy city, driving, or doing something that would require a smartphone but you can't use your hands at the moment. But honestly when you're driving, you don't want to be terribly distracted and it's better to have a HUD than looking down at your phone, but your phone can connect to the car's info center and use a HUD in car....

I just have to think how this can't be used in the retail environment, you're working at a register and you can have a Skype session with someone will handling a customer's transaction. Unless if the future means less physical interaction, that can't happen and won't. It's like having your phone out texting someone or talking to someone at work, it's a no no.

Also, this REALLY makes me think. If this is the future, I can already tell you what the theme of literature of the group of purists that refuse to wear them. It's not real anymore, things get augmented so a barren space becomes this whole thing, but it's not real. We'd be living in a world where you'd literally need to be born wearing them to interact with the "real" world. It's not right, it's something that I bet Ray Bradbury would be shaming if he would be alive to see this...

This also makes me think, what if google glasses becomes a neural implant? There was this future theorized video where people were wearing glasses like those, EVERYTHING augmented, where you can lie facedown on the floor and be skydiving in augmented reality. The scenario was that some guy was a coder for the glasses, and he was on a blind date and his blind date saw how he is a creeper and was using a Wingman app for the glasses, but then he was able to basically reprogram the night and erase that from the woman's mind.... What a warped and twisted society that will be if it happens...
