Law Enforcement, Military

It’s a sunny afternoon and there is no one on the freeway. You decide that today is the perfect time to test out your Tesla’s engine as you speed down the highway at 120 mph, when all of a sudden you hear siren’s. As you see a black and white mustang tail you through your rear view mirror you pull over. You put on your lipstick and comb your hair. You've sweet talked hundreds of cops in the past, this one should be no different.

As he walks over you are welcomed by a man who reminds of a movie your Dad or brother once made you watch with you, but whose movie name you forgot.

“Hello RoboCop. I mean, officer,” you stutter as you are caught off guard by the contraption on the man’s face. You see a bright light at the top of his right eye. He’s recording you, but this is no time to back down now.

You flash a wide smile showing you’re perfect teeth and offer the officer the chocolate chip cookies you baked just a few hours ago. But he keeps his head down and recites the same set of lines that he’s said to everyone he’s caught speeding this week. He doesn't digress. He can’t. Because not only are YOU being recorded, HE/SHE is as well. His Glass is at 100% Battery after being charged in his car and the video conversation he records with you sent straight to the station as his Glass auto-sends every picture and video he takes when connected to Wifi. He can’t turn it off and you can do nothing to stop it.

A fully accountable law enforcing society? Is that even possible?

It already is. Direct video evidence of every officer’s rounds and encounter with potential crime will easily be traced with Glass XE16.1. Now imagine firefighters, policemen, SWAT teams, and armed military going into the world’s most dangerous areas live streaming their first person perspective to their higher ups every second it’s happening in real time. No more mysteries. It’s all in the Glass and the Glass is always sending to the cloud in areas of WiFi.

2) Reality Television and Entertainment

As I sit in my apartment at this very moment my roommate is recording a video to help his YouTube followers help pick up women at local college bars. He is going over countless strategies, pickup lines, clothing tips, and hair gel choices.

But my roommate is only 1 of the hundreds of people his followers watch on a daily basis. Whether it’s Boyce Avenue recording the latest cover of Justin Timberlake’s new single or a KasemG interviewing random strangers on Venice Beach.

In a Glass adopted society, channels would work in almost the exact same way, except now the people you are “following” will be consenting to viewing their life in real time at any part of the day.

3) Journalism

Now imagine sitting on a New York subway and watching the live first person perspective of a man watching the protests of Egypt. No CNN, Fox, or CNBC. No bias, no opinions. Just unfiltered first person footage of a man or woman watching history unfold and having this footage auto-archived on a cloud based server to watch and rematch at any time. While app’s that help you connect to people like this may not exist today, in a lightly regulated glass adopted society this can exist. The technology is already there and when live channels are created, one can predict that the need for a news caster explaining what’s going on may become less.

4) Politics and Celebrity Life

Politicians and Celebrities will likely HATE this device. While film producers and directors will probably not forsake their million dollar camera equipment for Glass’s 5MP camera, anyone and everyone will now be capable of taking photos of their favorite celebrities as they are walking down Sunset with their families trying to enjoy a nice sunny day.
