Do you think Google Glass is a cool idea?
Watch video. Now imagine this happening thousands of times a day all over the world. Now imagine all of that being uploaded to Google, processed, stored in perpetuity, and used for god-knows-what.
Now how do you feel?
Not expressing an opinion, just thought this was an interesting perspective.

I didn't know that corporate proselytizing was part of your job description. Do they score you on this in performance reviews? :-P Joking aside, this video . . . what does the author intend to prove? As stated here several times already, he'd have gotten those reactions with or without a camera. As far as Glass goes, I can see some serious privacy concerns here, especially when we pair this massive data mine (millions of pics being taken all over the place) with facial recognition software, date/time stamps, and geotagging of photos -- over time, Google will have collected a potential database of millions of people's whereabouts at various times and, if Glass becomes ubiquitous enough, will eventually be able to reconstruct the movement patterns of people who don't even use Google products. That's a bit worrying. And keep in mind it's not just Google that you need worry about. We already have problems with law enforcement requesting information from service providers without a warrant; imagine when the information available to them is no longer limited to just call records, but your entire locational history.

I'm still buying a pair.

>implying having your data collected by an organisation that anonymously uses it to target advertising toward you is in any way the same as being recorded by a random stranger

TEH FUTUR. Seriously, it's one of the coolest (real) things I've ever seen. It's insane. Plus, I've always wanted to take pictures or record videos on the fly.
-
For starters, that video is freezing cOLD.

5 RepliesI can see some moments where this would be helpful and others where it would suck. For example, while driving. It'd be like your own personal dash-cam. You get cut off, you see someone weaving/DUI, you get pulled over by a cop. Recording all of that could be very beneficial. Attending a lecture or a class. Imagine having the entire presentation to play back and then use to build your notes. There are times where a recording of your POV (instead of just your recollection) would be beneficial. But the invasion of others privacy and/or anonymity (they are not the same, especially in public) is a huge risk.

Edited by Commander Tempu: 3/12/2013 7:57:54 PMThis is what the law is and Filming even if you do not respect other people its about Privacy & Consent.

It's a step towards the inevitable future.

4 RepliesHow is this different than someone who constantly films or takes pictures with their phone?

24 RepliesI'd probly break the guy's camera. And the guy he sat down next to at the coffee shop did everything right. The guy with the camera with being a giant douche. One of the differences between Google Glass and this though is that people don't know they are being filmed, so it can't be directly applied. However, I do understand what you are trying to imply and it concerns me a little. The filming doesn't concern me, because anything I don't want people to see or know I don't express or do in public, so film me all you want, but all of this stuff being uploaded all the time, could be a nightmare for people trying to hide or those who just don't like to be exposed to the internet on such a personal level.

4 RepliesI am actually in full support of Google Glass. Sure, I feel that the person in this video was doing a terrible job of respecting peoples' privacy, but that's not the established norm yet. I already wear glasses, and having an interface with my glasses built in that would allow me to take videos and pictures wherever I go, use GPS without looking at my phone all the time, and other such conveniences and amenities would definitely improve my world experience. Sure, you're going to get the occasional ass who just won't stop filming everyone, but that's a part of society that we need to adapt to or develop fair laws around. If new technology is breaking down the system, it's a possibility that the system needs some work anyway to improve. Honestly, I'd take the risk of being randomly recorded to have a pair of glasses that work as a mini computer. Google Glass is a step toward full integration with technology. As a bit of a tame transhumanist, I feel that this is a direction that will help advance humanity's interaction with technology. It'll make people uncomfortable at first, of course, but it'll also help us to adjust as a society. Google Glass isn't the end. It's merely the beginning of improvement.

If some random guy came up to me and was essentially staring at me, I'd be pretty creeped out and get away anyway. Besides, how else should we expect you to film candid drink conversations at the bar with a certain community guy?
-
Think it raises a very valid point. There is a massive potential for total surveillance and nobody cares.

1: 58 soo not just having a wank. OT: i'm not a fan of Google Glass.

7 RepliesEdited by The Great DanTej: 3/12/2013 4:36:18 AMHonestly, i was more concerned at how people reacted; yeah you have a right to privacy, but he's not walking into your home, he's walking up to you on the street, and even then you just have ask him to go away nicely or walk away, no need to swear and get pissed off. watching it and the others again, it's quite interesting how the people react when the camera man mentions the other cameras in buildings, and all the people can come up with is "yeah -blam!- off"

I couldn't help but not think about CE after 1:37

15 RepliesEdited by Commander Tempu: 3/12/2013 4:59:49 PMEver wonder why a movie star gets photographed out side and far away so they cannot hear the other person yelling." Respect my Privacy." If you think that funny i will stop by your house randomly and be a jack ass film you when you do. Yep in the public eye no one has rights. I can see a lawsuit coming a mile away. When some one asks you to respect there privacy and you continue to keep going well you are a moron in so many ways. It will be funny when the person(s) might get beat up or tossed out. Camera might even be confiscated by police. Just because you can film other people does not mean you randomly disrespect them. Just like my dog taking a crap in your yard while i film you getting angry. Technology is not to be abused or you will end up on the road to hard knocks. Learn to respect others. If you have the time to get into trouble you have the time to do something constructive.-Brother Fishbowl out.

14 RepliesProblem is people need to respect every one today this guy is a idiot to provoke a response. The problem with social media is that you have a [b]Right To Privacy.[/b] Just going around doing this is just like trolling on a website only in real life. Perspective is the person should respect other people and there rights or guys like him might have the tables turned and have a camera fallow him all over even into the shower. Now as for use of this footage could get this guy in trouble. Hes harassing other people and being a jerk. Doing security i can toss him off the property for doing this shit. you have rights and if this becomes the norm as others watch you and invade your privacy every one looses the right to privacy. Not just one person so respect others. Do onto others as they would do onto you. Every one has rights or they don't...Just do not be a jack ass like this guy filming.
-
4 RepliesWelp, I made up my mind about it.
-
I found it funny how so many people reacted to him recording.
-
But think of all the awesome and funny videos we will see because of it. It will be like Russian Dash Cams, but everywhere.

Edited by o0MrCheesy0o: 3/12/2013 4:10:32 PMI don't really like the idea... everyone would be walking the streets like zombies... the social ramifications, mang! I have no problem with people recording me, or me them though.
-
It will be accepted as a part of society eventually. Just like all the cameras in London.

3 RepliesEdited by Capiton Render: 3/12/2013 3:38:24 PMNot the current iteration really, maybe a more durable versatile third or fourth generation of the device, once it becomes common among multiple providers. That video is hilarious, but isnt filming and taking pictures in the public domain completely legal without the permission of others? Also i counted like four possible assaults in that vid.

I for one welcome our new Google overlords.
