This is old and tired news. These attitudes will change. I know cause I'm old enough to have seen it before with advent of cellular phones. Same reactions, calling people assholes, same stigma, same wealth issues.
People hated the jerks who were rich enough and self important enough to be phoneable anywhere, anytime. Eventually price, ugly factor came down and phones became ok cause everyone had one.
Same thing will happen.
- Silhouette 13y agoI don't think the real problems with Google Glass have much to do with showing off how rich the wearer is. Most of the strong concerns I've heard -- and I thought I was pretty down on the idea, until I heard some otherwise very level-headed people I know speak about it -- relate to the privacy aspect. I don't see that going anywhere, just as today most of us have mobile phones but there are plenty of places that will ask you to turn them off so you're not disturbing everyone else around you with your conversations/ring tones/etc.
- jfoster 13y agoBut is the lack of understanding due to the current inequity? I suspect people fear it partly because it is an unknown device that they haven't been able to experience yet. Once they have tried it, some will probably relax a little bit. Cameras on phones had similar reactions to begin with. Now everyone just finds them to be extremely useful.
- bowlofpetunias 13y agoThat's a false comparison. Cellular phones do not constitute an invasive act perpetrated on others. Unless you start having loud conversation in the presence of others, in which case you're still an asshole.
