That google glass picture scares the fuck out of me. It instantly devalues humanity and values voyeurism and narcissism over family.
If this becomes the norm, I'm going all Luddite.
I think it will also become: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma8NbpCvSwo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma8NbpCvSwo
- dfxm12 14y agoCan you elaborate how a picture taken with a camera you wear like glasses "devalues humanity and values voyeurism and narcissism over family" compared to a picture taken with a more (I guess) traditional camera?
- gouranga 14y agoSimply intent. The intent shipped with google glass is social by default. share. Identify. Record. There is no other reason to use it. The intent with a camera is to take a photo then decide the intent. The former is a dangerous paradigm shift.
- saraid216 14y agoI didn't realize you had a Google Glass. How do you get one, and how can I get one?
- gouranga 14y agoI don't and never will have. The marketing is pointing to deep integration like this.

- drivebyacct2 14y agoI'm sorry, but the notion that we're going to draw wide-reaching conclusions and reference "marketing" based on... basically absolutely nothing is just silliness.
- pessimizer 14y agoA camera is alienating, and a camera that you constantly wear is even more alienating; like a locked cell is more imprisoning than a locked country.

- Domenic_S 14y agoInstead of a wearable camera, what if it was technology that could tap into your own eyes and connect to the internet? Same result, different presentation. Would that change perception do you think?
- gouranga 14y ago+1 for black mirror and well anything by Charlie brooker. Definitely worth watching!
- Karunamon 14y agoI'm confused as to what a set of glasses has to do with an implanted camera that caused issues for a fictional group of people who were cheating on each other? Any examples that aren't absurd from the get go?
- frou_dh 14y agoThanks for reminding me about Black Mirror. Watched all 3 for the first time today. Bloody good, all.
- ihuman 14y agoHow does Google Glass have anything to do taking picture of yourself, or the pain of others (or am I looking at the wrong definition)?
- gouranga 14y agoIt doesn't. Watch this, or read the description if you can't get it where you are: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mirror_%28TV_series%29#3._.22The_Entire_History_of_You.22 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mirror_%28TV_series%29#3....
