Google glasses

Actually, no. I don't agree with this. But since I can't do shit I just don't care about it. Why would I care about something I have no influence on?

+ people are dumb
-> you need majority of them to change something
-> you wont make them smart
-> your idea might not exactly be the best one

You don't.

How would government benefit on it? They already have all the data.

 

It means that I am fucked up for life.

 

Relevance?

 

actually, this is the first i've heard of them.

 

Haven't you ever watched 24?
It doesn't matter if the government "says" they're not going to invade your privacy. There will always be reasons for them to be able to do so.

 

Yes I have. It is fantasy. The reality is always a little more boring. Here, atleast, others are spending a vast amount of time pondering data privacy etc. I appreciate they could do what ever they wanted - but the reality seems a little more boring. And thank god for that.

I thought you had your finger on the pulse etc etc? Well, that's probably a use for these goggles, anyway.

 

Why are people afraid of technology ???

 

I remember in a movie called true lies like 15 years ago there were video glasses.
I really don't care. This is all a problem for city people, not country folk. The reception and stuff doesn't work too well in the mountains.

 

Doubt it odon, for fantasy is reality. And with England be the number one country for surveillance rest assured they're hard at work keeping you safe.

i would like them if i could use google in them or youtube

google and youtube help me save tons of time when im working



i wouldnt want them to record stuff..just for me to be able to access stuff

 

Perhaps not all technology, but certain technology. Also 'stuff' they do not understand or trust.

 

i kind of thought so too. maybe not quite "finger on the pulse," but generally up to date anyway.

although it does seem like they are mostly used with smart phones, which i don't have. so that could be why i've missed them.

I vaguely remember them. I thought they were used in the same way they are now - but I was wrong. They were/are used as a step up from barcodes. Blame the Japenese http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code - I guess I noticed them on electronic parts/computer parts. So they were lodged in my memory. I can't say I would have noticed there use as they are today if I didn't know something about them previously.

 

Some establishments in my city are trying to (or are) banning them from use already.

 

Graham Gerrard from the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) said there were safeguards against the abuse of surveillance by officers.

"The police use of surveillance is probably the most regulated of any group in society," he told the BBC.

"Richard Thomas was particularly concerned about unseen, uncontrolled or excessive surveillance. Well, any of the police surveillance that is unseen is in fact controlled and has to be proportionate otherwise it would never get authorised."

What I'm saying is that such groups are talking to government: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200809/ldselect/ldconst/18/1803.htm - they might be a little hysterical, but the fears of certain people/groups are well documented. It's an open debate. With such voices screaming into relevant ears it is very difficult for anything to go with out question. We are not the number one country for surveillance - we seem to be because our CCTV etc is well regulated and documented. Unlike many other countries.

 

Not quite. There's still nothing permanently implanted, but we're not far off.

 

A lot of shit is going to happen this decade, and by 2030 it will be a completely different world. Google's glasses are the least of it.

From North Korea to the US, the whole world is reaching the boiling point.

 

As much as it pains me to do so, I absolutely agree with you. I fully expect we'll see another civil war of some type within my lifetime, especially with the widening chasm between the haves and the havenots.

 

Thank god I live in margaritaville. I can guarantee I won't see those around here.

And yes, the concept is disturbing. I often think about going to live way out in the wilderness.
