Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt recently said some interesting things regarding Google Glass. He said using the voice recognition capabilities and talking to Glass is “the weirdest thing” while he was at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government yesterday. He thinks that we have to develop a new etiquette to deal with products such as Glass because they can record video and bring up information that only the wearer can see. He also admitted, “There are obviously places where Google Glasses are inappropriate.” We already saw one bar ban Google Glass, and that was before the Explorer Editions were even sent out.
There's no question that people will need to get used to Glass, but I think it goes for both the people without Glass as well as the people with Glass. How comfortable are owners of Glass going to be using it everywhere? At the same time how comfortable will be those that don't own Glass going to be around those that do?

Right, as if talking to a Bluetooth headset is A LOT more normal thing to do.
Well it is now days, that’s the norm for everyone. I don’t see it any different here with Glass either. It’s no different than talking to your bluetooth. I can’t really see a difference and or why anyone around you would think any thing else but hey they’re talking on a wireless connection. Eh, big deal ya know?
I’ve personally sat around and thought about this for a while now. The way I look at it, there are so many mobile devices out right now that people are filming videos and taking pictures with. All without anyone knowing they’re doing it. Mainly it’s because all mobile devices with cameras are phones and it’s nothing to see someone walking around with their phone up in the air, a flash or two going off, etc… We pay no mind to it, because it’s all common place. Everything that the Glass can do, is already being done, just we’re so used to seeing it.
That person on the other side of the bar, sitting at their table or at the bar itself, holding their phone like they’re reading something but in actuality just filmed a band on stage for whatever reason. The girls setting at the table in the back are snapping pictures. Do you know of who? Of course not! You think they’re just being typical girls on a night out goofing off with their phones. Next day you find a video on YouTube of you stumbling drunk, from your friends who just happen to come across it.
It happens all the time. The problem with Google Glass, is that it’s new. One thing that I can say that we with our human nature, usually dictates we do not always like change.
