Yes. Share your location, check in, record everything. Enjoy your yoke. Big brother is watching, idiots.

So? Even if you don't trust the software, the hardware is still extremly interesting. I would love to get my hands on these, if only to start coding drivers and interface. One thing I can becoming big with AR is gloves that let the glasses use your finger taps and pinches as user interface. That's something I see lacking from google's implementation, which seems mostly voice based. Great for finding a moive, but I'd doubt you'd be able to get any real work done

You use the internet? You use a credit card? You pay taxes? You have a driver's license or state ID? You have a social security number? You have a mortgage, or pay rent? Your birth was recorded with a birth certificate? You went to a public school? You have a credit rating? You use a bank? You use customer loyalty cards from vendors? You use email? You walk on streets with security cameras on them? You have an employer? You have a CELL PHONE?!?! GET OFF THE GRID, MAN! You don't need to share your location, you don't need to check in, you don't need to record everything - your location is already known, and everything is already recorded. Unless you've already rejected all of the technologies I've listed above, objecting to this new one is pretty absurd.

  To be fair, that data is distributed across many entities. What people worry about is any single company aggregating too much data. Google can get all your searches, email, some purchases (through Wallet), social connections and interests, phone calls, voice mails and location data. Now they could literally record everything you see. I think that's why some people might be reticent about using this.

    Let's say you had all that information about me. What would you do with it?

      Sell it to the highest bidder!

        Who would then do what? I'll start: given my credit card transaction log, thieves could show up at my apartment and steal my Amazon packages before one of my neighbors brings them inside.
