Please explain that reasoning.

"Seattle bar steps up as first to ban Google glasses"

Unnecessary, if you consider how it won't work like shown in any of the demonstration videos. It's just another overhyped, gimmicky "gadget" that appeals to hipsters who think they'll be able to do everything shown in the demonstration videos, when most of them either won't make it to the first version, or will be half assed.

the mainstream birth and use of the 2004 potato quality camera phones, all over again.

and eye problems can develop from this just like it can from looking at screens and similar tech things all day.

Because that doesn't happen now? so what they should do is say no recording or pictures of any kind in this bar. Not only ban Google Glasses. let's see how business goes when girls can't take pics together.

I can do that right now with my phone. There's even camera apps that look like notepads. I don't foresee anyone banning phones though..

It's completely legal to record anyone in public!

The difference with phones...it's a little obvious with someone sitting across a bar aiming a phone up at you. Someone is sure to notice. Most people won't know what the google glasses are and what they do. Or just occupied doing what people do at bars. If it's as simple as aiming your head in one direction to record everything in sight, that could definitely turn out to be a problem.

Yes it's possible to secretly record or take pictures of another person using a phone, but there's still always a risk of being caught in a public place. There's really no natural way to sit with your phone in hand and record a person in front of you, unless they're literally a level below you or sitting on the ground. Phones are held a certain way while being used, and it's certainly not the ideal way using the camera. It's just shady as hell. But say we get these google glasses. To that ignorant hot chick at the bar, it may seem like some fancy cool pair, not knowing it's capable of recording video. It's a creeper's dream come true.

But phones have other serious uses; Google glasses are for video, video identification, video etc.

You almost seem to be saying that like it's a bad thing.

If all it takes for a dude to get off is staring at a chick's clothed ass, then by all means, get your Google on.
