Google Glass might be a revolutionary
technology, but not everyone is excited to see
this wearable device hit the streets. Pictured

When 23-year-old Jonathan Gottfried snagged a
coveted Google Glass back in spring 2013, he
turned into an overnight superstar.
Gottfried says he was “swarmed” by admirers
while donning the $1,500 high-tech eyewear that
lets you receive notifications instantaneously
and take pics and videos hands-free.
“It was this crazy thing,” says the Williamsburg
resident who works in tech. “If you imagine what
a day in the life of a celebrity is like, it kind of
felt like that, just because you have this crazy
device on your face.”
But the pressures of fame became too great.
“I stopped wearing them because I got a little
bit tired of always being stopped on the street,”
explains Gottfried, who still utilizes the device
for work purposes. “That’s kind of annoying every
day.”
Like it or not, a Google Glass world is finally
upon us. And it’s a divided one.

up to him while he was wearing Google Glass
was short lived.Photo: Courtesy of Subject
Since its April 2013 rollout, tens of thousands of
Google Glass devices have been sold nationwide,
says a Google spokesperson who declined to
provide specific numbers.
This past April, the headset, which is still in
beta form, sold out in 24 hours during Google
Glass’ first online sale to the masses. (Previously,
Glass was only available to developers or those
who grabbed it through special campaigns or
connections. A post-beta version will be
available by early 2015.)
The pricey gadget promises to revolutionize tasks
both mundane (getting directions) and
extraordinary (assistance in rare surgeries and
real-time foreign translation while abroad). For
status seekers, there are even $1,800 Diane von
Furstenberg-designed versions now available on[p]
net-a-porter.com
But not everyone is going Glass. Critics argue
that the flashy gizmo is both pretentious and
intrusive, letting wearers take photos with a
simple wink of the eye.
“I don’t see why anyone feels the need to wear
them,” says 30-year-old Pete, who works in
financial research and declined to give his last
name for professional reasons.

Feast owner Brian Ghaw defends his restaurant’s
ban on Google Glass.Photo: Zandy Mangold
He recently spotted a man with Glass on the
subway. “Was he reading his e-mails, watching
an old episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ or recording
everyone? Just reach into your pocket and get
your phone!”
“Glasshole” has become the term du jour, and
outrage has spiraled so out of control that San
Francisco has had a series of reported attacks on
users.
New York City’s not immune to the backlash,
either.
Gottfried chased down a man who had stolen his
Glass right off his face. (He also had an incident
at a San Francisco bar where drunken patrons
accused him of recording them. He insists he
wasn’t.)
In April, a techie war erupted when East Village
restaurant Feast kicked out Glass-user Katy
Kasmai after she refused to remove her device.
Kasmai vented online, and hundreds of Glass
groupies rallied against Feast on Google,
accusing the eatery of discriminating “against
people who are into new technology.”
Feast co-owner Brian Ghaw is unapologetic. He
says Feast’s no-Glass policy is for guests’ peace
of mind. “They just felt uncomfortable about
having somebody who could potentially
videotape them,” explains Ghaw. “If someone
were sitting at a table with their smartphone
constantly pointing in a certain direction and
you didn’t know what they were doing with it,
you’d feel pretty uncomfortable as well.”
But Glass users claim that discomfort fades with
education.
“Everyone’s a hater in the beginning,” says 29-
year-old Glass-wearer Drew Austin, CEO of
Augmate, a company that develops software for
wearable devices, including Google Glass.
“It’s just the norm. People hate what they don’t
understand,” says the Soho resident.

discomfort with the technology will fade with

One popular misconception is that the device is
always recording. (It’s not — a visible prism
lights up when the user is photographing or
videotaping.)
“If someone asks me or says something about
the Glass, I will always take the time to explain
what it can and cannot do,” says Narunas
Bukauskas, an Android developer who bought
the gadget in December 2013 and wears it every
day.
Though Google provides its own manual on how
not to be a Glasshole — including “Don’t be
creepy or rude” — social navigation can be
tricky.
Town & Country Web editor Micaela English says
Glass should be taken off during a seated dinner
(though cocktail hour is a go-Glass zone).
Even Glass gadfly Bukauskas, 49, admits that he
removes the device in bars and public
bathrooms: “I get a little bit self-conscious,” he
explains.
For many Glass users, including new mom
Rebecca Soffer, etiquette is a learning process.

moms’ uneasiness with Glass but also recognizes
its benefits for working moms.Photo: Justin Soffer
Soffer recently wore her new Google Glass to her
baby boy’s music class.
“No one said anything to me but the energy in
the room was like, ‘Um … why are you wearing
this thing?’ It’s understandable, because I can
wink and take a picture with it,” says Soffer,
cofounder of the site Modern Loss, who uses
Glass to read e-mails while breastfeeding and
washing bottles. “I think that’s fair. I’m a mom.
If I went to class and saw someone wearing
Glass, I’d be like, ‘Don’t look at my son!’ ”
Soffer, who got Google Glass through a grant in
April, says the device can be a blessing for a
multitasking mom, but she’s aware of its
potential pitfalls.
“It freaks me out,” admits the Upper West Sider.
“You can get any sort of information above your
right eye at a second’s notice, and that’s a lot of
power. [But] I also want to assure everyone that
I’m using my powers for good. And I like to have
faith that others will, too.”
