And that, my friends, is the experience that Google Glass creates. That is the experience we should be thinking about. The most important Google Glass experience is not the user experience – it’s the experience of everyone else. The experience of being a citizen, in public, is about to change.You won’t know if you’re being recorded or not; and even if you do, you’ll have no way to stop it.
Huh; this reminds me of Foucault's panopticism a little. It certainly involves a panoptic gaze - looking back at yourself and your behaviour because you're under surveillance or, more to the point, in an environment where you no longer know whether or not you're under surveillance.
