Google Glass is demonstrably creepy, sure. But at least at this point, it's still just a plaything of the tech elite—not that it'll stay that way for long, though.

I just cannot get on board with the whole "Glass is creepy" because that's not accurate. People doing creepy things with them is creepy. It's like the misquote of saying money is the root of all evil. The correct quote is that the love of money is the root of all evil.
Ok, I dun't know if that analogy really works, but that's how I'm currently seeing it. Anyhow, For me this all comes down to human tendencies. Google Glass? Not creepy. Creepy person wearing Google Glass? Creepy.
