Those bars and strip clubs already have plenty of CCTVs, you are being recorded. Police have body cams, cars have dash cams, almost every phone has a camera capable of taking video, the chance that you are being recorded if someone wants to is already very high.

A glass cam will probably work out the same way CCTV has: people are worried about the potential for privacy abuse, but in the end these fears don’t come to pass.

Google Glass wasn’t ready, the tech isn’t ready yet. People stopped using it because it wasn’t useful. The tech will be useful someday, however.

Luddites complained about the automated loom as well, saying the cost to society was too great despite its benefits. It didn’t work out well for them in the end.
