No one should give a poo poo about the feelings of chicken littles. Fact is its a tiny minority of people who are uncomfortable with glass and way more people who either have no opinion or make fun of it and it's users for its actual flaws. I'm glad you're uncomfortable. Though it's funny you think mocking bad fashion is bad but having paranoid delusions about products is good.

How is this any more a valid reason to ban a toy than "face cameras make me irrationally uncomfortable"? At least a face camera can theoretically do what people are worried about, even if practically-speaking it won't. What other people look like has to have the least effect on you of anything in the universe, why on earth would you advocate ostracization and bans on that basis? "Stop worrying about cameras, no one wants to record you, it has no effect on you...but whoa I don't like the cut of his jib, throw him out!"

I still have not advocated banning, why you're still trying to get that strawman is beyond me. I advocate mocking glass users on sight because they look dumb and are an overpriced underperforming product that you should regret paying the full $1500 for. I also advocate mocking anyone who's a proud PT Cruiser owner, for Very similar reasons. Nintendo Kid fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Jun 19, 2014 |

I'm cool with you not agreeing with me. My opinion: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Your opinion: Everyone else is wrong and I have no duty to society, my community, nor the people around me; in fact, lets make fun of the dorky ones. That's it. That's where we are. I've read your posts, I get that glass in its current form is a bit of a red herring for people's fears. That doesn't mean I won't try to accommodate them. If people need education, then educate them without being condescending. If they won't listen then move on. That's what I'm going to do. Good luck out there, buddy. (you're still boring) I'll actually throw you a bone. Here's my fear: *look at sharply dressed guy* "Nintendo Kid" (Profile Pic of Nintendo Kid in different, equally fashionable clothing) Google Review: * (one star) Posted by RaySmuckles: This dude is boring and inconsiderate. Avoid at all costs. *(one star) Posted by Nintendo Kid's Ex: Oh my gosh, this guy is boring. He always says the same stuff and never listens! If you're interested, just know this guy is incredibly inconsiderate. I showed up to his house on laundry day and he mocked me in front of our friends for looking dorky! What a dick! Speaking of which, the kid's genitalia has…an issue. *look away from sharply dressed guy and try to avoid eye contact so that he doesn't bore you with inconsiderate rant, or assault you with defective genitalia* (yes, this made me happy) RaySmuckles fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Jun 19, 2014 |

It's not just the recording thing that makes people uncomfortable, though I can understand that. Yes, someone can be surreptitiously recording you with a camera in their pocket, but they can't really aim it at my face without making me aware that they are recording me, and they can't take a picture of my face and then run it through face recognition software to see who I am without some kind of manipulations of the phone. It can be easier to trick people into looking straight at the camera for the picture, as well, as people are naturally good at getting someone's attention and making eye contact. Then there's also the annoying fact that the person you are talking to may be receiving communications from someone else without you knowing it. Try that with an earpiece and a phone and there's a good chance someone will notice or you won't be able to concentrate with two people talking to you at once. I imagine once these become more socially acceptable and widespread there will be PUAs using these for crowdsourced attempts to get sex. The person you are talking to might have a whole chatroom of people watching and listening in, offering suggestions on what to say, or trying to find background information about you. Similar uses of the technology could be used for even more nefarious purposes.

SedanChair posted:Do you notice Brian Williams constantly receiving communications from his earpiece? Yes, maybe not all the time, but sometimes you can tell in his eyes he is listening to someone. He is also someone who has a great deal of practice speaking with that happening, and not in a conversation. He knows what he's going to be talking about in advance until he gets an update, then it's up to him when he changes subject. Now imagine trying to talk to someone in a normal conversation while multiple other people are in your ear trying to tell you what to say next. Now imagine talking to someone while you have text in a portion of your vision scrolling up with the suggestions of people. You could take your time to consider which input to regard and when to do it. You know you're never going to miss something the person you were talking to said because of a distracting voice in your ear, nor will you miss an instruction from your handler(s). There's other information that could be received that would be even more difficult when relying on people with microphones talking to you. Do you want someone reading your conversation partner's criminal history and resume to you while you are trying to talk to them?

What people need to do is attack glass users so when future glass users approach you they can get your criminal record and know you're liable to assault them. Fight information with information.

My only Google Glass encounter IRL was taking a piss during SWSW and a dude walks in wearing one and everyone glares at him and he got all hunched over and furtive and washed his hands and left walking real fast. That's it, thats my Google Glass Interaction storoy.

computer parts posted:It's at least fair to say that one visual cue of a "hyper nerd" is that they don't understand that strapping a camera to your face is uncomfortable to people. It's not that I can't understand why someone would be uncomfortable with the idea of perpetual surveillance, it's that the people in question are only getting worked up over their Orwellian nightmare when there happens to be a big, visible camera lens in their immediate field of view and I don't know why someone needs to regulate my behavior to assuage an irrational or misinformed person's neurotic fear of being recorded by a stranger while eating. TheImmigrant posted:No, that's not it at all. It's about dislike for people who feel entitled to invade the privacy of others because, like, don't be a racist technophohe! Do you feel your privacy is being violated whenever somebody is walking behind you while they hold a cell phone? What exactly about Glass poses such a unique threat to your privacy in 2014? I think lens caps are a good idea that'd go a long way, but what exactly are we gonna do in ten years when Glass is indistinguishable from my regular glasses? How about in twenty-five years, when it's an implant in my eye? Why is it that unreasonable to expect people to be able to emotionally cope with an inevitability?

Specifically, Google glass combines a number of features that seem to be more unnerving and uncomfortable when all put together. You can't tell when Google class is recording, its pointed face level, it can be communicating its data with any number of people or be saved by some unknown person, etc. The only other similar situation I could think of is someone sitting there and pointing a camera phone at you face and I think you would find that doing this for several minutes in a bust restaurant would also earn you a lot of grief.
