    Yes, I can turn it off but how can i turn off my buddies'? Or some stranger's? Anyway... it's clear that you are engaging in best-case scenario reasoning while i'm standing on the opposite side of the spectrum (as i always do). There's not much more left to discuss at this point.

  15. Re:Oh yes on Should We Be Afraid of Google Glass? · · Score: 1

    Would you like to keep recordings of potentially every evening at the pub with your friends? Along with all those very profound alcohol-fueled discourses about even the most private of things? Right now i can keep all my private stuff away from facebook because i am perfectly capable of deciding what to post and when. Google glass has the potential to make life become a real life around the clock facebook and you will have no control over who posts things concerning your person. Even now, with these ubiquitous goddamn smartphones, i can't stand my friends: constantly ready to take pictures, make videos, post statuses about what is being said or done, post locations... and god knows what happens if try to stop them from being so 'social' (the wrong kind of social that is)! GIVE-ME-A-BREAK!
