No, the record feature only bothers people who haven’t been paying attention to how the world works now. My favorite “glass” incidents involve people confronting the wearer for possibly recording them WHILE recording the whole incident on THEIR phones. We are in the post privacy world, if you are in public you ARE being recorded, by multiple items, and if you do anything even a little interesting it’ll land on youtube.

As soon as it can replace the phone rather than supplement it they’ll be a hit. Also it’ll help if the supplement prescription glasses rather than replace.

The cameras didn’t stream to google. They just sent it to your phone, where it would then go where ever you had told your phone to put data. That stream to google thing was just a myth. Although of course, since it’s part of a smartphone, there’s an app for that, though again it doesn’t go to google.

Then it's not a concern at all, because EVERYONE pays attention and knows in minute detail how the world works now :-)

No surprise then that people hate being in public. Does wonders to the society.

Except that it goes to Livestream which is entirely not unlike Google.

It's all but impossible to figure out what the GG wearer is doing with the video of you that he is recording. You can be sure that he is not doing it for your benefit. Nobody benefits from being recorded forever. It may impact your job, your family, your children, your future - and there is no upside.

Exactly - the only people concerned with privacy are those with something to hide. And the only people who haven't accepted the utter inevitability of total surveillance are those living in an 18th Century fantasy world.

Oh sorry, I forgot to call you a jackass.

Jackass.
