3rd draft


“Man has created technology. Technology has created man; what we are today…. Without it many would perish”[1]
To what extent and why is wearable technology, specifically Google Glass, a threat to society?
The development and innovation of new technology such as Google Glass has been regarded to as an issue that affect society. Technology has changed so much and has led to various forms of people being able to access information, for example smart watches, tablets and smart glasses are all example of how this has be done. Therefore traditional methods for audience to access media was through computers smart phones and tablets however with technology changing and becoming more developed, new ways have been developed an example of this is Google Glass. Based on needs to access the internet more frequently or easily of Google Glass has been a product designed as an answer for the masses, it is fair to say that Google Glass was a product influenced by the masses. It can also be argued the Google Glass may even revolutionise the way that both businesses and consumers operate. However Google Glass is a product that uses the internet, as of July 1st 2014 there are about “3,000,000,000”[2] users which are 40% of the world’s population.

This essay will be looking at mile stones that are considered to have revolutionised our daily lives, for instance the alphabet and the internet are two examples that were first feared when introduced. “Amplification (or exaggeration and distortion) is essential to the creation of a moral panic.  This amplification of deviance is done by the media by ‘over reporting’”[3]. This therefore is a prime example of how Google Glass is an example of a type or moral panic, with audience not understanding the product. Google Glass was first released to developers in order to create apps for Google Glass, this had gone on for over a year before it was made available to the public in late 2014. Application developers and celebrities and technology review companies both had early access to Google Glass. This was done for several reasons one being in order to create more app as mentioned before, another reason was as a form of celebrity endorsement worn by celebrities as in to promote and get free publicity for Google Glass. Finally it was given to companies in order to test and review which would be seen by the masses, however this had shown to have created many problems with many companies raising concerns to privacy however it is not to say the panics are always misguided. Centralised social networking is another example that creates privacy problems; cyber predation does occur, more commonly now due to the increased accessibility of technology but more importantly online cyber predation “is where a person can use the internet in order to take advantage of a victim in any of the following ways; sexually, emotionally psychologically or financially”[4].  It can be said that “Technology - with all its promise and potential - has gotten so far beyond human control that its threatening the future of humankind”[5] through the likes of Google Glass it can be used for cyber predation, which is a massive privacy concern for both adults and children as both can be exploited.
Many other technologies have faced similar changes in expectations over time. Warren and Brandeis' famous definition of privacy as "the right to be let alone"[6] came about in part because new cameras in the late 19th century made it possible to take photographs in just several seconds, invading "the sacred precincts of private and domestic life."[7] Warren and brandies defines privacy as "It could be done only on principles of private justice, moral fitness, and public convenience, which, when applied to a new subject, make common law without a precedent; much more when received and approved by usage."[8] However due to technological achievements and changes in technology has led to changes and alterations of the law in regards to privacy which head meant that political, social and economic changes has thus led to recognition of new rights or has been added on to current ones.
In May 1988 the first Kodak camera was released at $25, which was the simplest camera of its time the slogan “you press the button we do the rest”[9] was what explained the simplicity of the products. However the demand for the product rose drastically then it was led from excitement to fear, this had to signs stating “camera fiend”[10] which means camera terror/villain had started to appear on beach resorts. This is an example of how privacy has become a concern, another example is for example cameras were banned from the Washington monument. Other resorts had felt such a concern in the trend that they posted a notice “PEOPLE ARE FORBIDDEN TO USE THEIR KODAKS ON THE BEACH.” The same ideas and suggestions have risen with Google Glass, as it has a small camera which cannot be seen nor is it as evident compared to a convention camera when taking a picture it has led to massive concerns.
Although Google Glass can be criticised it also be seen as a beneficial tool that can help to speed up and increase national security. David Bulman, chief information officer of virgin airlines, said: “We are going to start with Google Glass, but we are trialling a number of different glasses.”[11] David Bulman also said they “We're trialling apps that allow staff to take a picture of your passport, which then works with our systems to find your booking and other information. We have done trials with printers that sit on people's belts, so that we can print off boarding passes”[12] this is an example of how virgin Atlantic had adapted applications in order to be able to take advantage of the technology and be able to provide a faster service for customers and also presents the company as innovative. “Technology, is the platform that inspires the dynamics of business culture”[13]
The type of the market that google glass aims at psychographics groups (Young and Rubicam); succeeder’s and explorers and the social demographic group that it would appeal to is people in the A and B. The reason for this because of it expensive price tag, which is $1500 or £999. Google Glass been considered to be a “cooperate tool”[14] it has been suggested that since the release of Google Glass that was aimed at consumers the focus will shift “cooperate market within the next year or so”[15] this can be suggested due to the high price tag but also the ability and potential the Google Glass can create ad be used as a tool for businesses. The type of audience that has always been presented is middle class white people carrying out activities, such as sky diving. This suggests that Google Glass was aimed at those with a large disable income, who live an active luxurious life style. “Glass holes”[16] is a terms that has been used to describe a “person who people who do not use the gadgets in socially acceptable ways.”[17]
it is suggests that from a cooperate point of view Google “Glass makes it possible to create an ‘augmented reality’, displaying diagrams, instructions, maps of an area or blueprints of a building or piece of equipment.”[18]  This is an example of how Google Glass can be considered as a tool to help people and businesses rather than as a piece of technology as a commercial product. Another example of how Google Glass “can act as “X-ray” specs by showing plumbing, electric cables and heating ducts. Internet access is via Bluetooth communication with the user’s smartphone.” [19] “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run”[20].
In 2013 during the early release of Google Glass for developer the first “crime”[21] had taken place, a women was pulled over by police when the women was fined for using the Glass. The passenger was initially pulled over due to speeding but however after being pull over the women was fined for using the Google Glass. the women from San Diego was fined for the Glass once the police had seen it, the “law prohibits drivers from operating vehicles if ‘a television receiver, a video monitor, or a television or video screen, or any other similar means of visually displaying a television broadcast or video signal that produces entertainment or business applications, is operating and … visible to the driver’.”[22] However developers are now creating applications in order to enhance the driving experience by improving road safety. The app “DriveSafe4Glass”[23] was the first apps that was trialled on the Glass and can be considered the stepping stone in to road safety. This is due to the app being able to track eye movement and ensure that the driver does not fall asleep.  
Google Glass has been considered a threat to “national security mission”[24]. A video was posted by Bob Gourley who talks about the concerns and a walk through of the controls and features, Bob Gourley explained that to take a video or a picture it is “easy”[25] and can be done without the knowledge of others. Bob Gourley felt that Google Glass for “national security missions or law enforcement”[26] information “presented is secured or between your smartphone and Google Glass is secure”[27] that he feels that Google Glass had created, a “covert communications channel”[28] which could become dangerous as it means that it can allow for encrypted messages to be sent to an individual which would be a national security concern. Another issues is in regards to “identification of face”[29] as this can lead to identity theft as well as being able to find information about people through Google for example through social networking where information can be found of a person. Another article found on the daily mail has shown that “Casinos said the futuristic eyewear could help cheaters to win unfairly and cinemas said they could be used to illegally record films and sell pirate copies.”[30] This is an example of some more of the threat that have been associated with Google Glass there are also suggestions that this could therefore lead to Google Glass being band in certain areas. The same article talks about responses that were given from adult clubs “Lap dance clubs said that they would treat those wearing the Internet-connected specs the same as anyone caught filming a stripper with a camera phone - and would kick them out.” Google Glass can be used as tool to spy which can be used by the big corporations “There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me'”[31] It can be argued that people would use Google Glass for surveillance (Blumler & Katz) it can be used to find out information in a positive way, as well as negative way in terms of spying.
“To provoke moral panic, a technology must satisfy three rules”[32] the article looks at how 3 rules and must be affected in order to create moral panic which are “Space, Time and Social relations”[33] However although these are three factors that contribute in order to create a moral panic a minimum of two are applied before moral panic can occur. for example Google Glass applies to both space and time as well as social relations the reason for this is because it allows data as well as information to be sent over a distance as well in a short time but social relations is one of the biggest issues with people using emotions more and more people can’t read emotions effectively as they once could. “Technologies that change society are technologies that change interactions between people”[34]
“As technology advances in complexity and scope, fear becomes more primitive.”[35] It can be argued that the app was create out of fear in order to understand emotions of an individual this can help those who are disabled but also help people on a general basis however it’s arguable that the app was created due to people not being able to read emotions.
People using Google Glass had been considered to be called “Glass holes” Google glass was defined as “a person who keeps taking to their Google Glass ignoring the outside the world.”[36] The article looks at how people can avoid this, Google Glass has been encouraged to be used in all situations however the Guardian advice that “Glass is a piece of technology, so use common sense. Water-skiing, bull-riding or cage-fighting with Glass are probably not good ideas.”[37] The article suggests that although Google Glass is good, however there is a limit to how much the Google glass is used.
Media imperialism is another factor that i believe connects. Google is because using technology such as Google Glass for surveillance amongst society. It allows sensitive information that would not be able to be found with previous types of research method in order to find information that would can be used by third party companies. It also can also be used against society by people and be used to suppress people. “Technology simply means increased power, which is why we have the global problems we face today.”[38] Although media imperialism is aimed at weaker countries it can be argued that Google is a puppet used by larger organisation such as the FBI in order to find information about society which i believe to be the equivalent of weaker countries. This is an example of Marxism as Google can be suggested to be an elite nation and can use information in order to take advantage of society, Google’s search engine get “11,944 billion search per month”[39] this an allow Google to be able to keep information on any individual and be able to see what users do. Google Glass is something that allows Google to be able to have access to a user’s life style and be able to watch and hear what a user does.

media draft update


“Man has created technology. Technology has created man; what we are today…. Without it many would perish”[1]
To what extent and why is wearable technology, specifically Google Glass, a threat to society?
The development and innovation of new technology such as Google Glass has been regarded to as an issue that affect society. Technology has changed so much and has led to various forms of people being able to access information, for example smart watches, tablets and smart glasses are all example of how this has be done. Therefore traditional methods for audience to access media was through computers smart phones and tablets however with technology changing and becoming more developed, new ways have been developed an example of this is Google Glass. Based on needs to access the internet more frequently or easily of Google Glass has been a product designed as an answer for the masses, it is fair to say that Google Glass was a product influenced by the masses. It can also be argued the Google Glass may even revolutionise the way that both businesses and consumers operate. However Google Glass is a product that uses the internet, as of July 1st 2014 there are “2,925,249,355”[2] users which is 40% of the world’s population “7,243,784,121”[3].

This essay will be looking at mile stones that are considered to have revolutionised our daily lives, for instance the alphabet and the internet are two examples that were first feared when introduced. This is an example of moral panic (Cohen) the reason for this is because moral panic means “an instance of public anxiety or alarm in response to a problem regarded as threatening the moral standards of society”[4]. This therefore is a prime example of how Google Glass is an example of a type or moral panic, with audience not understanding the product. Google Glass was first released to developers in order to create apps for Google Glass, this had gone on for over a year before it was made available to the public in late 2014. Application developers and celebrities and technology review companies both had early access to Google Glass. This was done for several reasons one being in order to create more app as mentioned before, another reason was as a form of celebrity endorsement worn by celebrities as in to promote and get free publicity for Google Glass. Finally it was given to companies in order to test and review which would be seen by the masses, however this had shown to have created many problems with many companies raising concerns to privacy however it is not to say the panics are always misguided. Centralised social networking is another example that creates privacy problems; cyber predation does occur, more commonly now due to the increased accessibility of technology but more importantly online cyber predation “is where a person can use the internet in order to take advantage of a victim in any of the following ways; sexually, emotionally psychologically or financially”[5].  It can be said that “Technology - with all its promise and potential - has gotten so far beyond human control that its threatening the future of humankind”[6] through the likes of Google Glass it can be used for cyber predation, which is a massive privacy concern for both adults and children as both can be exploited.

However due to technological achievements and changes in technology has led to changes and alterations of the law in regards to privacy which head meant that political, social and economic changes has thus led to recognition of new rights or has been added on to current ones.
In May 1988 the first Kodak camera was released at $25, which was the simplest camera of its time the slogan “you press the button we do the rest”[11] was what explained the simplicity of the products. However the demand for the product rose drastically then it was led from excitement to fear, this had to signs stating “camera fiend”[12] which means camera terror/villain had started to appear on beach resorts.

Although Google Glass can be criticised it also be seen as a beneficial tool that can help to speed up and increase national security.

We have done trials with printers that sit on people's belts, so that we can print off boarding passes”[14] this is an example of how virgin Atlantic had adapted applications in order to be able to take advantage of the technology and be able to provide a faster service for customers and also presents the company as innovative. KFC is another example of a company that had adapted an application that shows tutorials. “KFC, one of the world's largest fast-food chains, recently ran a trial in which it trained employees using a software program on Google Glass” [15]this is another example of how Google Glass has been used for fast food stores and help employees. employees would see a series of on-screen prompts giving them step-by-step directions for tasks like making a sandwich, shutting down a fryer, or closing a store for the night. This is another example of how Google Glass has been used as a form of training in the fast food environment, it ultimately cheaper as videos can be created and played back while making the food. by doing so it means that head offices are able to send up to date information but it also means that a step to step guide on how to make the food product which leads to consistency “ Technology, is the platform that inspires the dynamics of business culture”[16]

The type of the market that google glass aims at psychographics groups (Young and Rubicam); succeeder’s and explorers and the social demographic group that it would appeal to is people in the A and B. The reason for this because of it expensive price tag, which is $1500 or £999. Google Glass been considered to be a “cooperate tool”[17] it has been suggested that since the release of Google Glass that was aimed at consumers the focus will shift “cooperate market within the next year or so”[18] this can be suggested due to the high price tag but also the ability and potential the Google Glass can create ad be used as a tool for businesses.
it is suggests that from a cooperate point of view Google “Glass makes it possible to create an “augmented reality”, displaying diagrams, instructions, maps of an area or blueprints of a building or piece of equipment.”[19]  This is a example of how Google Glass can be considered as a tool to help people and businesses rather than as a piece of technology as a commercial product. Another example of how Google Glass “can act as “X-ray” specs by showing plumbing, electric cables and heating ducts. Internet access is via Bluetooth communication with the user’s smartphone.” [20] “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run”[21]

The app “DriveSafe4Glass”[24] was the first apps that was trialled on the Glass and can be considered the stepping stone in to road safety. This is due to the app being able to track eye movement and ensure that the driver does not fall asleep.  

Google Glass has been considered a threat to “national security mission”[25].
