alt Hacker NewsI can actually see more use-cases for Google Glass tbh - having a HUD would be useful when using Google Maps for example, like a fighter pilot.
And being able to take photos/videos with the glasses (like the Meta ones nowadays) is really useful with my kid because he often does funny or cute stuff and I don't have time to pull my phone out to take a video/photo of it. I guess it could be useful for video calls too so my parents can see him.
But I just don't see anyone sitting in an office, or even at home, talking to their computer. It's really only useful for hands-free settings like when you are driving, or in the kitchen etc.

IMO, that’s the anti social part. Why is a phone butting in your relation with your kid? I only have a few pictures taken when I was a kid (and most were for some grand occasion). And I’m happy that was the case because of so many cringeworthy things I did.
It's anti-social because other people don't want to be filmed by you.
