IMO the pushback was against the perception that people wore them to signal that they had $1500 since they didn’t do that much and were fairly obviously futuristic on your face. I saw someone climbing in them and my impression was not that they were somehow relevant for the climbing..
- Angostura 3y agoThe push back was largely about the creepiness of being potentially surveilled all the time. This is just the same
- floren 3y agoyeah it would be pretty fucked up if I was recorded all the time, like in every store. Or like walking through a neighborhood and half the doorbells call out as you pass to inform your that they're recording. Or if you do anything slightly embarassing in public and there is a teenager nearby.
- AlecSchueler 3y agoWe can accept the trade offs for some surveillance while still being critical of new trends. Or maybe you're ready to have a 24/7 livestream from your toilet?
- floren 3y agoThe toilet came up constantly in discussions of Google Glass, as though the presence of a camera on your head would suddenly turn you into a raving lunatic who pops his head over bathroom stalls and peeks over the urinal dividers.
- AlecSchueler 3y agoI'm not sure I saw that argument at the time and I'm not making it now either. I don't know what to do with this response.
