dont really think they should be allowed - was talking about this with my partner recently and the fact they can take pics vids etc on the fly is a bit much - apparently cant even tell they are "capturing"

whilst i totally dig the technology - are you ok with being pictured and/or filmed without knowing it from anywhere anytime?

breach of privacy is probably way too far down the road however, I didnt really agree with street view either...

I also think it is totally true that the older you get the more conservative you become haha :P

They are cool for events though, If you went to a concert or if you have kids you can actually attend to them because your "hands free", I can imagine how the future looks like.. Employees will have to wear them during business hours so the boss always knows what they are up to. No time sheets, click and watch who, how, when. It's the beginning of population control.
