NYT: Google Glass, Even at a Bathroom Urinal

[Deleted]

Saw this simultaneously funny and incredibly creepy article:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/0...-the-bathroom/

What do you guys think about the concept of privacy when everything is made completely transparent with consumer technology for all?

What implications can you foresee happening?

What implications can you foresee happening?

Never using a urinal ever again.

Obvious solution is the development of Google Ass, a system of internal and external implants that allow you to relieve yourself without even unzipping.

This is what I think of when I think of Google Glass:



But honestly, who cares? If someone is that eager to get a picture of my dick, good for them. It's just a dick.

Well i'm not surprised, i mean, i don't take my glasses off to go to the bathroom, so i think noone will do that

I don't like Google Glass, I will never ever buy one, I said the same about Iphone, I still stand my ground today.

I'll keep using a smartphone untill someone invents a smartphone that you can wear like a watch.

If Google Glass ever get cheap, i may buy one, in the end i have to spend all day with glasses on, so why not have my cellphone in my glasses :P

If somebody's that desperate for a picture of my junk they could've just asked.

I always use a stall anyway.

Well, guess privacy at the urinals is gone...

Because before Google Glass, there was NO way anyone could sneak a camera into a public bathroom.

Toilet spy cameras is apparently a very lucrative niche market for pornography.

Which was a little bit more obvious than just winking...

I'm still waiting for someone to come along wearing one...so I can yell at it "google search gay butt porn sex bondage goats safe search off open first 50 results in new tabs" then run away.

If someone wants to take a pic of my willy they can go ahead, it is polite to ask first though.

The technology to hide a spy camera in something as innocuous as a pair of glasses has existed since the 1990s. If someone wants a picture of your Johnson so badly they probably already have it.

This. It's not ideal but it at least gives me a bit of privacy with all the same benefits of a urinal. I got into the habit of using a stall in public places simply because I had a string of people staring at my man bits, one even going so far as to ask if he could wrap his mouth around it! I was flattered but alarmed at the same time and it really made me paranoid about unzipping in public bathrooms.
