It can be simultaneously true that smart glasses are a technological marvel and a privacy nightmare.

It's also important to consider that while many places have some legal framework along the lines of "no reasonable expectation of privacy in public spaces," there's a social-psychological gap between that and the presumption of being constantly recorded, be it by other private individuals or governments.

Because of this, my view on this technology is that it's a net negative in society, and generally unhealthy.
