obvious camera.

<div dir="ltr">Yeah, I think most of the stigma
against the google glass is a similar stigma
against the google busses. 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>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>

<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>
