We know that the government and law enforcement have the ability to follow our every move, record what we say, and check on who we communicate with. Google Glass just allows the government to take this invasion of our privacy a step further. It makes it easier for them. Those of us awake to what is going on, know that the day is coming when technology like Google Glass will give law enforcement an instant readout of who we are and everything about us from the time we were born.
What happens though when anyone can buy Google Glass? How simple it will be when half the country is wearing them, to film the habits of others.
Just think how easy it will be for someone to watch your child, monitor your routine, know when your wife is home alone, know when the store manager will be cashing up at the end of the day. There are hundreds of applications for Google Glass that are less than desirable.
Currently a person intent on gathering such information is seen, they have to physically use a camera of some sort to record information that may be useful. That won’t be the case when Google Glass is on the market.
Nobody will see people acting suspiciously, they will be just walking around like everyone else. That being the case nobody will take any notice of the guy walking past the school at the same time every day, especially if he is wearing different jackets, on foot one day, on a cycle the next and so on.
