On articles about #meta #smartglasses often "aaactually" style comments appear stating they are not so different from how photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson operated.
Henri used one unconnected camera. Between an event & sharing it with the "world" existed a delaying proces of reflection.
Smart glasses are just one component of a near realtime data harvesting, matching & sharing machine. The only thing they have in common with Henri is a physical lens. What people object to is not that.
