Social Concerns
The glass, like many other recent technological devices, has been criticized for being against normal social interactions. People wonder how one can engage with another while wearing the google glass. The glass restraints a conversation even when not in use, since it can atleast allude some level of awkwardness, while talking to another who is wearing a smart computer in their head. It further adds to social seclusion since people will be more comfortable interacting in the virtual world rather than in the real world. According to Arthur (2013), "the device immerses people in a private environment while in the public sphere."
