They positioned it as an up-market, exclusive, fashion device. If you drive a BMW, you've automatically classified as an asshole. Not at all surprising that people wearing glass were labelled that way.
- jschwartzi 12y agoI thought it had more to do with the fact that there was no way to know if you were being recorded. Basically, think about the most embarrassing or terrible thing you've ever done. Now, imagine that that were a video on Youtube or Facebook and you were automatically tagged in it. Users were dubbed Glassholes because they chose to walk around with this kind of power in bars and public bathrooms.
- tokenizerrr 12y agoIsn't there a light that goes on when it was recording?
- jschwartzi 12y agoI thought they added that later in response to people freaking out about being recorded.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoI do felt they sold it to the wrong crowd - to the rich dudes instead of geeks. But still, the kind of reactions you described is a really shitty feature of society.
