Avoiding phones in some classrooms and concert halls hasn't slowed adoption of cellphones, that's what I mean by society accepting the product and their privacy

Avoiding phones in some classrooms and concert halls hasn't slowed adoption of cellphones, that's what I mean by society accepting the product and their privacy risks. Simply turning off cellphones is likely enough to stop glasses from being useful on their own as they tether to a phone. We have the same merging of accessibility device and recording device already with air pods which now can be used as a hearing aid and can record audio when tethered to a phone. With on device (on the phone) image processing and machine learning advances they may be able to address the privacy issues to most peoples satisfaction. The only point I've tried to make in this discussion is that I don't think the product is likely to fail due to privacy concerns anymore as we've watched our privacy steadily erode over the last couple decades this has become a much smaller concession than it once was.

> that's what I mean by society accepting the product Yes, and gun control is what I mean by society not accepting a product. Your logic is that one product has been accepted so we must now accept this different product, but the logic doesn't hold when there are many products we reject. > Simply turning off cellphones is likely enough to stop glasses from being useful They will simply sync once reconnected to a phone and eventually they will have all of the telecommunicative capabilities of phones. > a hearing aid and can record audio when tethered to a phone I've already said that audio is qualitively different to video. I don't care if someone comes to my kid's birthday party and records them singing songs but I care if they're going to film them in the pool. > I don't think the product is likely to fail due to privacy concerns anymore as we've watched our privacy steadily erode It's strange to me that you frame it as an erosion of privacy while in the same breath campaigning for becoming a passive victim of that erosion win absolutely no desire to criticise what's happening to. It gives me a great pain in my heart to see that capitalism she democracy have so thoroughly failed the Western world that we have completely shed any illusion of agency in shaping society or the market to serve us rather than the other way around.
