"Intelligent eyewear is coming this fall" Google Blog post

Remember when people got the beat up for wearing “smart glasses”? I remember when Google Glass was still an invite only thing, retailing for like $1200. I ran into a Google employee as CES in 2012 and she was wearing them, admittedly looked very cool. When I got to talking to her about the intended use case, she struggled to give an example that didn’t boil down to just “watching everything you do, recording everything everything you say, and Google keeps a full record of all of it.” On a non-Google note, I called a plumber not too long ago and he showed up wearing Meta Glasses. I asked him to remove them while inside my home, and he refused (they were prescription, so okay). He swore they were off, but I asked him to leave all the same and have the company dispatch someone who wasn’t going to show up wearing surveillance equipment.
