The point of making fun of people is to make them mad, I don't know why you think that's a downside.

Except the people who are mad are the Google glass users who can't understand why a bunch of drunk locals in a bar in SF/NYC wouldn't use a douschey looking set of prototype tech glasses to target in on the almost exclusively white and male technocrat privileged elite who are driving up their rents. Its not that hard.

cheese posted:The general answer is because human beings are emotional creatures who made snap judgements, have biases and are flawed in many ways. If you can't understand why they might find it uncomfortable because people are already being filmed constantly by more concealed cameras then you are probably mystified why someone would oppose statistically safe nuclear power and completely bewildered by the tens of millions of Americans who vote against their self interest. People are not rational calculating machines. tl;dr: we need to keep in mind people are dumb mammals.

It is interesting that the on going debate here is part of cementing the public perceptions of "glassholes" as unreasonable people that have no concern or empathy for those that dislike google glass being pointed their direction. It doesn't matter if the detractors are logical or not.

One of my favorite restaurants has a no cell phones policy. Its a very nice place to eat when there isn't some fucker shouting into his phone the next table over. Banning glass is an extension of that. I'm sure this is totally the slippery slope for drinking fountains for humans and a separate one for cyborgs too.

First they came for the cell phone users, but I said nothing because who the gently caress yells on their cell phone or watches a video at a restaurant? Then they came for the glassholes, but I said nothing because I wasn't an insufferable rich white techno-fetishist. Finally they came for me, to take my order, in this nice restaurant not full of assholes.

Apparently glass is now pointless because (good) smartwatches are just as good or better but don't piss people off: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/06/android-wear-smartwatches-make-google-glass-obsolete/ I agree that without a display that overlays the user's whole vision (or most of it anyway) you lose the most potentially useful applications of a face computer, like in-place text translation, or a giant navigation arrow that appears to be in the world telling you where to go.
