#12Irrelevant to the article: Why am I seeing with so much more frequency articles with one headline, where the title bar is something completely different?

#13I was just shaking my head through the little bit of that that I read. " My Google Glasses might display the social security number," ... Is that a feature that google is rolling out? How would that information get into your glasses? "Public places will have to come up with new policies. " They already have policies on recording if they're worried about it, and people always have recording devices on their premises (…
This article assumes correctly that the technology will most likely evolve into something more than just weather reports and mortage offers on houses. We root our phones, PSP, digital wachtes. We control room humidity through Siri on the iPhone. Realtime face recognition is evolving every day and becoing more and more integrated and accessible to and for the public.
It makes sense that at one point we can link massive databases together. Which ironically could be generated by the very public who will wear these glasses. Something like Wikipedia, that can describe any person or object. I suspect the first adoptations of these technologies to be homebrew and opensource.
In the end it is us who crave this information overload, Google will just wants to target us with relevant ads.

"right now I can't find ANY videos from inside class rooms."
Seriously? Then you're not looking very hard.
Actually there are many videos posted to Youtube of interactions between students and teachers, some of whom were apparently deliberately provoked by the students expressly for the purpose of recording and posting online.

The statement you quoted was sarcasm, meant to convey that the article is proposing something not revolutionary at all.

Yes, exactly. Forgot my tags.

Actually i'm curious now that every car will soon have its own black box how if this technology becomes ubiquitous what the law enforcement agencies start asking for. As cool as google glasses are, imagine they become "effectively needed" as a technology. Then it becomes almost a foregone conclusion that law enforcement will want access to it. While I can imagine bad outcomes, what about things like alibis and so for…
Internet access and cell phones have become effectively needed technology, and so far appear to have been a net benefit. The internet increased the amount of shared data, cell phones increased the sharing and consumption (in the case of smart phones) of data, and Glass will increase the generation of data. What benefits can that extra data have? Email me if you ever make it to Boulder and I will collect the beer. ;)
Heh will do, in Raleigh atm though so no go for that area atm. :)
Was just trying to look at the idea of ubiquitous technology from the positive side of things. I love conspiracy theories but I just get the nagging feeling that we're over worrying about downsides to this specific situation.
