> Wearing Google Glass in public is rude
I don't think this is universally true. For instance, if someone was a tourist on vacation and they were using Glass to take a POV video of a moment of their trip, I wouldn't find that rude, as long as this was happening in a well-known public area where people are likely already recording videos with smartphones.
Basically, if you're doing something really unique in your life, and you want to capture a video of it for memories and sharing, I couldn't blame people for wearing Glass. Actually, it'd be superior to a smartphone for this purpose, as it inhibits interaction much less than holding a phone up in front of your face.
But in the majority of cases in normal life, yeah, I'd be bothered if I went out with a buddy and he was wearing Glass all night.
I think that Glass will reach an equilibrium where everyone around you assumes that if you're wearing it then you are actively using it for something. If they can deduce what your purpose is (e.g., tourist), then I don't think they'll be bothered. But if it's unclear why you're using Glass, I think it'll make people uncomfortable.
