Don't you just love when they try to sell the general public on crap like this by claiming how it will improve our lives. They try to sell people on tracking chip implants by claiming it will help with missing pets or abducted children. They claim such an invasion as "Google Glasses" will make it easier to report crimes, etc.

The sad thing is so many people will eat stuff like this up.

Wow, there are going to be a lot of accidents are coming huh?

People don't seem to understand how close-knit Google and the NSA are right now, as well as how large the NSA is growing as we speak. The NSA is building a huge information hive in Utah right now, full of servers to save and store personal information and surveillance data from cameras, files from all over the country.

Even if you don't own a "Google Glass" as it is called, your neighbors may. They're being hyped on the internet almost as much as the first iPhone was when it was first introduced. The fact that so many of these may come into our everyday society means that we will no longer have to consent to having our pictures taken or videos made of us. We will be caught in the background everyday.

How long will it take before facial recognition software comes out for "Google Glass"? We won't even know we're being seen until we're tagged in a Facebook photo or Youtube video.

The master himself, William Gibson foresaw this. Read his book Virtual Light

Chevette, on a whim, steals a pair of dark-rimmed glasses from a man at a party because she is offended by his demeanor. Soon after, she realizes that the glasses have unlikely importance, as security company henchmen begin tracking and following her. Among the pursuers are Svobodov and Orlovsky, two Russian immigrants who reside in San Francisco and are employed as cops,[3] as well as Loveless, a ruthless corporate hitman with gold incisors. The glasses contain plans by a powerful corporation to rebuild San Francisco entirely using nanotechnology, and for that reason, they are highly coveted and present a danger to the person who possesses them.

Good. I will get these. It will serve the NSA right. I will put them on my dog and we will give the NSA a tour of the neighborhood fire hydrants and fence posts.

I don't know...I find it hard to believe anyone with half a brain at the NSA would want to watch the images from those. It's not like terrorists will be wearing them to meetings to hatch dastardly plots. I think skateboarders and mountain bikers and hikers and kayakers might capture video worth looking at. And the people behind all the Lol cats craziness might make something interesting of it. But NSA worthy? what? Why? If this stuff about our govt is true then lunatics really are running the asylum.

I can't even believe they actually wade through all the drunken doofuses posing photos of duck lip pouts and badly rendered tattoos on Facebook. Or how about the vacation or party photos that somehow manage to look like everyone else's vacation or party photos no matter who is in them or what the background is? Or all the text speak drivel exchanged between barely literate bored teens, Tweens and early twenty somethings. Good grief the prospect of having to wade through that dreck or developing the technology that wades through it must be enough to drove some of their employees to despair. I certainly wouldn't want that kind of work.

As for the images from the goggles, I wonder how many viewers will be able to watch them without getting motion sickness.
