I was just shaking my head through the little bit of that that I read.
" My Google Glasses might display the social security number,"
... Is that a feature that google is rolling out? How would that information get into your glasses?
"Public places will have to come up with new policies. "
They already have policies on recording if they're worried about it, and people always have recording devices on their premises (cell phones).
" You can just hear the panic buttons after the first pictures from people cheating in school or filming in the locker room are released on YouTube."
Man, that's going to be so crazy because right now I can't find ANY videos from inside class rooms.
This article had a really good chance to talk about behavioral changes that will take place when you feel like you're constantly being recorded. For instance, I hate the sound of my recorded voice so when someone is around with these, I'll probably be less outspoken. Instead, they went for sensationalist crap like social security numbers, schools and banks.
- easy_rider 14y agoThis article assumes correctly that the technology will most likely evolve into something more than just weather reports and mortage offers on houses. We root our phones, PSP, digital wachtes. We control room humidity through Siri on the iPhone. Realtime face recognition is evolving every day and becoing more and more integrated and accessible to and for the public. It makes sense that at one point we can link massive databases together. Which ironically could be generated by the very public who will wear these glasses. Something like Wikipedia, that can describe any person or object. I suspect the first adoptations of these technologies to be homebrew and opensource. In the end it is us who crave this information overload, Google will just wants to target us with relevant ads.

- LeeHunter 14y ago"right now I can't find ANY videos from inside class rooms." Seriously? Then you're not looking very hard. Actually there are many videos posted to Youtube of interactions between students and teachers, some of whom were apparently deliberately provoked by the students expressly for the purpose of recording and posting online. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd_cO1jZT8Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kd_cO1jZT8Q
- intopieces 14y agoThe statement you quoted was sarcasm, meant to convey that the article is proposing something not revolutionary at all.
- xauronx 14y agoYes, exactly. Forgot my <sarcasm> tags.
