No, the record feature only bothers people who haven’t been paying attention to how the world works now.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

People should pay attention. Folks have been warning about the growing level of surveillance in our world since the 80s. And nobody bothered to pay attention to them until suddenly glasses could record them. I got no sympathy for people being recorded by four cameras whining about one of them, look around, even after the glass wearer puts his away you’re STILL BEING RECORDED, just not by him.

Important part of your link “CAN”, like I said, there’s an app for that. Any smartphone CAN livestream to various place, with an app, which all those places have.

And your last paragraph applies just as much to smartphones as GG. They all have cameras, and that guy sitting across from you fiddling with his phone MIGHT be playing Candy Crush, or he might be streaming you.

You ARE being recorded forever. Surveillance cameras, dash cams, traffic cams, smartphones. None of this changed with GG, all that happened is that a bunch of people kind of noticed. But only kind of, because they only focus on the glasses and never bother to notice they were already being recorded.
