I still don't understand why so many people get absurdly, irrationally angry about something that's pretty much the equivalent of duct taping an old cell phone to your hat.
Even on "technophile" web hangouts, I saw all kinds of comments and the like about things like "if I ever see somebody wearing that I'm going to punch them in the face and take it away from them!".
- imh 11y agoI think it's kinda simple. If I told you I was watching you right now, it would be creepy. People don't like being watched when they can't control it. Some people don't like being watched at all. It's a pretty normal human response. I know that I for one get all weird and vain and uncomfortable when someone is taking a picture. At least then I know I can relax when they put their phone down. I'd guess the reaction is some variant of that reflex.
- grkvlt 11y agoThis is probably more related to the cost. Someone who can throw away USD 1500 (or similar, I believe it was that ballpark) on Glass is not only an asshole, they're a rich asshole, and therefore fair game. Never underestimate the way money can unsettle people irrationally.
