My experience is similar to yours; I got mine about a year ago and for the first 3-4 months I used them heavily, but I can't recall the last time I really used them. However, not being in SF, my experience with people's reactions has been very, very different. In CT and NYC, I had 100% positive responses; no exceptions. Everyone was interested and asked questions, and I'd often offer to let them try it out. In SF (and to an extent, Portland), I had many negative responses to it. Quite odd for being much more tech-centric places.
- 0xffff2 12y agoI'm not surprised by that at all. I would theorize that there is a strong correlation between tech consciousness and privacy consciousness, and that where the presence of both is high, the privacy conscious aspect dominates.
- arebop 12y agoI disagree with the characterization of SF as forward-thinking. There are many people with big ideas and willing to undertake risky endeavors, but there are also many people who vehemently resent "techies." I think most SF citizens regard "techies" as mildly obnoxious. Overall, I find that SF is relatively tolerant of diversity, /except/ when it comes to people working in STEM disciplines, and so wearing Glass in SF is really asking for trouble.
