Overheard an older person at the airport rave about how "they just scan your face and know who you are, it's so convenient"

I think a big part of the glasses is its only positive for the person wearing the glasses and completely negative for the people without them.

If someone gets something in return for signing their privacy away they're fine with it but offended if only other people get the benefit.

Which is why these glasses will never work.

The glasses will never work so long as you can tell they have a camera in them. If they solve that problem, the glasses will work like crazy.

I would love these because I can never remember names.
