<div dir="ltr">I was just trying to make the parallel that NB's paranoia of Google Glass is no different than typical American paranoia of terrorists based on skin color. If we can see a video camera in the device, it must be bad right? The people who secretly record others would not be using such a visible and obvious camera.<div>

Wearing a Google glass flags you as a bourgeoisie. It's strange to discuss it here at NB where there's probably a higher percentage of high-wage tech people here than most places, if you subtract the homeless who sleep at NB.<div>
<br></div><div>It's weird to be paranoid about the glass since it has an obvious video camera on it. It's like how many americans are paranoid about brown-skinned people because they are a similar race as many terrorists in the middle east. They must be terrorists if they have brown skin right? I feel especially sorry toward the Sikhs who wear a turban and probably look the most like a terrorist even though there hasn't been any Sikhs who have committed terrorism.<br>

There's quite a few recording watches that you can buy.<br>
<br>
Healthy paranoia is healthy. But this focus on Glass reeks of<br>
something else. It's an obvious social status indicator and it almost<br>
"feels" like you're being watched. (Heh, get it? I said watch. Like a<br>
time-keeping device.Blah, whatever. You get the idea.) It has a lot of<br>
stigma against it and it's very public.<br>
