"I meet my Glass Guide, Danielle. She is young and blonde, and bears some resemblance to the actress Alicia Silverstone."

"I pull out a micro-recorder, asking if she minds if we document the experience. She doesn’t. She is wearing Glass, too, as do all the Glass Guides. With camera lenses embedded in our titanium eyewear, we are all documentarians now, although she asks me not to photograph other Glass base-campers when I pull out a traditional camera. It’d be a shame to violate their privacy while they’re learning how to violate everyone else’s."

Writes Matt Labash, with a photograph to prove not only the resemblance to actress Alicia Silverstone, but also the disquieting dorkiness Google Glass imparts even to those who resemble Alicia Silverstone.



This look, of course, is part of what other people with Glass will catch on you, if you have Glass. We'll all be Glass-y eyed, and yes, you might say, Labash probably chose the stupidest-looking shot of not-Alicia, but the internet is only just beginning to fill up with shots chosen by other people, often on the principle of stupidest-looking.

Later in the article:

Colleagues find the spectacle dorky enough that three of them whip out their smartphones to click pictures of me, causing me to threaten violence if anyone posts them to Twitter. 

So, within Labash's moral scheme, how many lashes at Labash does not-Alicia get?

With or without Glass, we are already a surveillance society.

Much more at the link, including using Google Glass at church, during communion, in a casino, counting cards.
