Private in what way? Private between us and Google? Private between us and Google and the NSA?
This blog post ignores the reality before our very eyes, something we don't need Google Glass for. It is merely another data acquisition tool for Google and any usefulness beyond that is incidental.
The glass is the most Orwellian thing I've ever heard of. The only thing that could beat it would be direct brain interfaces, capable of stealing thoughts.
it's only a matter of time before the glass hardware has an attachment that reads your mind so you exert even less effort than currently, e.g. blinking. google will then take that data and sell it to marketers, the USG, and whoever else they can, so everyone knows what you're going to think before you think it. google predictive thinking... so sad.
I wonder if most Googlers have faced up to this reality yet?
Or if they simply don't care, or think the money, perks, and "cool stuff" that they get to work on makes it all worth it?
i will refrain from citing other examples of hiding behind the veil of complexity since i don't want to "poke the bear" :)
