First. You're putting the pussy up on a pedestal.

Second. You are right, GG ubiquity will mark the moment when I think a lot of people will stop and seriously ask themselves what role cloud connectivity plays in their lives. Sure my iPhone in my pocket keeps me connected, but I don't wear it and it isn't in my constant frame of view. I can still hide from it, and it from others. The coffee shop in my neighborhood has a sign that says 'no cell phones in line' and I really like that they make an effort to spell out their expectations of manners to their patrons. I think we'll start seeing a lot more of that happening. As long as GG is clearly discernible at least. I was at a department store recently and took a picture of a sweet pair of shoes and was asked to delete my photo. The person even waited to see that I did. There will be a increased alertness in behavior. You'll hear "Excuse me sure, is that Google Glass?, You can't wear those in here." Never mind that you have them mounted to your prescription pair. And guess what? Truth is, most places are private. We'll all start to realize that even more once we begin wearing cameras on our heads. But sure, there will always be the creepy guy that has every angle figured. The snake. But that dude has been around way before GG and will be around beyond its significance. Rest assured though, that that person is not really living, but only watching. Life is not a spectator sport. And believe me, actually touching boobs is WAY better.
