The social implication of wearing Glass is that your network notifications take priority over your conversation. When you get a call or email or text message notification during a conversation, you can choose to ignore it and leave the phone in your pocket, or covertly switch to silent mode. When you're wearing glass, the notification interjects itself physically between you and your conversation partner, indicating to them that it takes precedence. There is no way wearing Glass could be seen as anything but a slight to the people around you.
