Google Glass will Not Steal Your Soul
Google Glass and photography has been a classic example of future shock. There are very few people that have used Google Glass for photography, a limited number of example photos, but many people are predicting that Glass will make public life a little bit more awful.
There are two variations of Google Glass photography paranoia: The first is public - that there will be less privacy in public and new variants of “creepshot” photographs. The second is personal - that your friends and family will use Glass to take bad photos of you eating. This a more realistic fear, because people are already posting unflattering and sometimes cruel photos on Facebook. It isn’t so much a loss of privacy, but rather an exposure of resentment and Schadenfreude. It has nothing to do with technology; people are using 20-year-old photographs from the film era in this context.
