‘Google Glass haters’ attack San Francisco woman

The Telegraph reported that in San Francisco a woman has been attacked and robbed for wearing Google Glass in a local bar.

Technology writer Sarah Slocum was showing off the high-tech glasses in a bar called Molotovs in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood on Friday night when two women confronted her and a man ripped the Google Glass off her face.

Google has a problem with Glass.  Legislation is one issue regarding its use in public places and whilst driving but even bigger is its perception.

Somebody wearing Glass says I’m a tech nerd and rich and I can afford to spend £1,500. Please rob me. Or people get nervous they are being recorded.  If Glass becomes totally uncool nobody will buy it.

Question is would you wear Glass? Personally I wouldn’t.
