    large majority of the population will have gotten over this “only perverts wear them” thing, which is quite frankly silly anyway.

    sure thing buddy.

    imho the people who find these creepy af is only going to grow as awareness of them grows.

    but you do you.

      People felt the same way about phone cameras at one stage. You might not be old enough to remember, or might not have even been born.

      Phones in Japan had to be made so you couldn’t disable the shutter sound when taking a photo.

      One thing I’ve really learned over the years is that a huge percentage of the population has virtually no ability to think ahead even a few years in terms of tech, let alone long term. I guarantee you that smart glasses are going to be as ubiquitous as smart phones and smart watches in a decade or 2. They are the natural evolution of the smartphone, or as an everyday wearable.

        dude, I’ve been using phones since they had dials. one place I lived, we had a party line shared with 3 neighbors.

        it’s not the same thing at all. Stop acting like phones and EYEWEAR are the same. People have no reasonable expectation if you’re holding a phone to their face that they aren’t being recorded. Looking at your silly stupid mug while serving your food or walking by isn’t consenting to be recorded.

        this is rich, considering how out of touch you are on this subject.

          Ok so you fundamentally don’t understand that in public places you have no expectation of privacy and can be recorded or photographed without consent in most of the world. You might not like that or agree with it, but that’s how it is.

          Seems you’re the one who is out of touch.
