When Google Glass was a thing, I remember people being alarmed with the fact that it has a front facing camera and worry it'll be abused to record videos in inappropriate settings without permission (e.g. public restroom). I think there were instances where the glass wear getting harassed because of this. The camera wasn't even turned on by default.

Fast forward today, the vision pro has multiple always on cameras pointing to every direction, yet the thing most people worry about is how goofy it looks?

How times have changed. I guess people are more comfortable getting recorded these days with so many CCTV and smartphones around.

Although we have surely become more comfortable with cameras around us more often, if I remember correctly what freaked people out was that there wasn’t a visible indicator when Google Glass was recording.

Had Google added a tiny red LED next to the camera, it would’ve been different.

That's because people are now aware of all of this shit happening, and some discreet day, just flip off the power from the house, doing indescribable things, and listens to the voices in their heads. And nobody will know.

Yep, they and were called "glassholes".

I even remember seeing a documentary about how Google Glass could be used to invade the privacy of people nearby.
