In my experience, the lack of friction has not been a positive... meaningful experiences and events are reduced to social media spam. Quantity over quality.
As a producer and consumer, I prefer the pre-FB days because the bar was high.
The moments are extremely meaningful when I use my spectacles, because I experienced the moment too the fullest while I took the snap. It's so effortless that it never feels like spam when I upload the clips.
I think anyone who's not growing up in the world of frictionless sharing is gonna have a problem with that.
Spectacle and Google Glass's issue of having a camera on your face won't weird in another decade. When this generation's teenagers are living out their 20s.
Older people will find hyper-reality frightening though we'll get use to it, just never participate to the degree younger generations will.
I think this is a narrative created by old people who have no idea how "young people" think.
Nobody likes invasion of privacy, period. Especially young people. An old married couple in their 60 has not much to hide (also nothing much interesting to share), whereas a teenager does a lot of things they don't want to be made public.
If you don't believe me, go ask any teenager if they're cool with some random person "frictionlessly sharing" someone else's footage without consent. Google glass didn't fail because it was weird, it failed because people passionately hated when someone else was wearing a google glass.
Well they completely failed at that, then. They are anything but frictionless as described elsewhere in the comments. Bad user experiences abound after purchase.
We've continuously reduced the friction it takes to share experiences with one another, spectacles is another step in that direction.
