"In a somewhat pre-emptive move Google is lobbying against state legislation that would ban drivers from using Google Glass while driving. I, for one, would like to see such legislation passed. There is enough distracted driving due to hand-held cell phones and Google Glass would just be just one more task for the brain to cope with.

    I'm open to technical use of GG, but I am concerned about the "social" use because these days that word doesn't mean what it used to mean 100 years ago. Today "social" means "open to surveillance" and "doing surveillance for others." A GG as a device is fine. A GG as a spy network is not fine.
