I think Glass will be awesome in certain areas, mostly related with work than pleasure. I am not an example that represents the whole, but my guess that the work field will be the Glass' nirvana and the rest will be covered by devices less obstructives with your look.
Conspiracy theory time.<p>What if employers start making employees wear them and have the video retained indefinitely? So that everything you saw, said and did was recorded for your employer to watch.<p>If this video streams to any online account, what’s to stop an outside agency from getting their hands on it.<p>Personally, I think it's rather upsetting that the feature people always rave about the most is the one that quickest turns us into an even more voluntary surveillance state.<p>TLDR: we don't need damn cameras on our damn faces. I promise your life can be fulfilling with out them.
I don't think it'll fail. I think it's going to be a massive success for people already addicted to things like facebook, instagram and reddit. The thought of never having to miss some tiny thing to share online so you can amass a tiny bit more internet karma is too alluring to go un-utilized. The amount of 'check out what this person said at burger king' and 'look at this person dancing on the subway' videos is going to skyrocket.
> Problem is…people who wear glasses can’t wear Google Glass.<p>Uhh, what? I was under the assumption, at least from all their marketing material and everything that I've heard about Glass from other people on the internet, that there are models that fit over your existing prescription glasses. No?
"IT’s hard to explain, but I feel like there’s a barrier between us - I wonder if they’re going to interact with Glass at some point and do something in the middle of our conversation."<p>Funny, I feel the same way about cell phones.
