The hype over Google Glass continues to build as the company
looks to expand its Explorers testing program and reportedly has
moored a barge in San Francisco bay to market the product.
Meanwhile, concern over the privacy implications of Glass do not appear to
have abated following Google's response to questions from nine foreign data privacy commissioners in
June. Articles discussing the privacy concerns Glass raises appeared in
the United Kingdom, Japan, Canada, India, and elsewhere in the last month alone.
While the
U.S. Federal Trade Commission did not join in the June letter, it is considering the privacy implications of wearable technology
like Google Glass, and is hosting a workshop
on the "Internet of things" next month.
GJIL would be happy
to try Glass out for itself and develop its own opinion. Here's to hoping
Google reads the Summit.
