Can 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?

Simply 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.

  I didn't realize you had a Google Glass. How do you get one, and how can I get one?

    I don't and never will have. The marketing is pointing to deep integration like this.

        I'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.

A 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.

  Instead 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?

  +1 for black mirror and well anything by Charlie brooker. Definitely worth watching!

  I'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?

  Thanks for reminding me about Black Mirror. Watched all 3 for the first time today. Bloody good, all.
