What technology takes from us – and how to take it back – podcast
Decisions outsourced, chatbots for friends, the natural world an afterthought: Silicon Valley is giving us life void of connection. There is a way out – but it’s going to take collective effortBy Rebecca Solnit. Read by Laurel Lefkow

C.Absolutely!
The thing that will kill creep glasses this time is the same thing that killed them last time (Google Glass, remember those?) - public opprobrium.
If you see anyone wearing them, assume they are recording (because they can hide that fact if they want) -- and then, more importantly, ensure everyone around *knows* the creep is recording them without permission.
Do this loudly and visibly. Stop, point directly at them, and yell "HEY, GLASSHOLE - STOP RECORDING PEOPLE WITHOUT PERMISSION" and continue by telling everyone "Hey, that guy <points> is recording people"...
Humiliate them, publicly. Shame them. Ostracize them. If someone you know is using them, go hard, and make sure everyone else you know knows they are doing it.
That is what will make them stop. Make the personal cost to their dignity, social acceptance, embarassment, everything total out more than the creepy voyeurism is worth, and they will drop it like a hot potato.

InspiringtechleadersRemember Google Glass?
It was a futuristic vision that arrived a decade too early. Now, Google is planning a 2026 relaunch, and this time, everything has changed.
In the latest episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I discuss the relaunch of this technology, but this isn't just a reboot; it's a complete transformation powered by AI and a new, critical focus on wearability.

Sergey Brin fait son mea culpa sur les Google Glass : il avoue s'être pris pour Steve Jobs
Vous vous souvenez des Google Glass ? Lancées en 2013 (dans une sorte de bêta test) et en 2014 pour le grand public, les lunettes connectées ont ouvert la voie à des produits plus aboutis mais n'ont pas été un réel succès. Et Sergey Brin, le cofond...
