    Google Glasses - Thoughts?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21937145

    Case study - So to fellow male members here... you're going for a wizz in a urinal, and notice the guy to your left look over... he's wearing Google Glasses... Thoughts?
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Google Glass is not the biggest threat to your privacy.

    Yeah people angry about google glasses being "walking cctv" clearly have no idea how many douchebags with a mobile phone today are more than willing to snap a picture of you and out it online, this aint gonna change that for the worse, if anything it makes doing so LESS incognito than a guy pretending to be checking his phone but really hes filming you on his smartphone instead.

    Tech wise what they promise is very neat. However i expect the end result to be a lot similar to kinects compared to its original lauded functions.

    Being run over by a car is not the biggest threat to my life, but I still check both ways?
