Survey shows that over 70 percent of people don’t want Glass due to privacy worries

[Guest Jack Holt]

Glass is having a rough go of it in regards to privacy concerns. There’s been a back and forth involving the worries that Glass violates the privacy of those around people wearing the tech. While there have been countless of stories involving the fact that, no, Glass does not actually violate privacy and isn’t always recording folk, people are still apprehensive. It’s only going to get worse.

 

In a study done by market research firm, Toluna, 72 percent of the American populace won’t be purchasing Google Glass because of privacy worries. They’re worried that there will be hacking, unwarranted photography and video filming and so on. While the initial buzz about Glass showed that people were genuinely interested in the product, its public presence has been a bit jaded as of late. With misconceptions by mainstream media furthering people’s apprehension, Google’s gone on the offense with a post showcasing everything Glass

isn’t.

 

 

As we see more businesses

open and shut the doors to Google Glass users, privacy will continue to be a concern for people. How accurate this survey is of speaking for people as a whole is anyone’s guess. What the survey does show is that there’s still a concrete lack of understanding with the new tech. Something Google will mostly likely work on before the product goes retail.
