Pictured here: Town & Country editors wear Google Glass to a black-tie gala. Photo: Joanna Garcia 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. Modal Trigger [img]http://thenypost.files./2014/07/google_glasses-2.jpg?w=300[/img] Jon Gottfried says the thrill of strangers coming 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.

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.

(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. [img]http://thenypost.files./2014/07/rebecca_soffer_glass-1.jpg?w=300[/img] Rebecca Soffer says she can understand other 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.” Reference |

[img]http://4.bp..com/--MQ56NZ4TsQ/U8QJK78bSyI/AAAAAAABLKs/HxXmb-gqORQ/s1600/Sam-Nda-Isaiah.jpg[/img] The founder of Leadership Newspapers Group, Sam Nda-Isaiah in a one on one interview with City People in his Abuja home has disclosed the reasons why he would like to be Nigeria’s president come 2015. Sam said the major problem with Nigeria today is the leadership and not the people. He also says the Nation does not need funds to unite the people but simple logic. The presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, says what he wants to achieve as a Nigerian president is to move Nigerians from a backward nation state to be part of the 1st world. The interview after the cut. Why is Sam Nda-Isaiah running for President? I have been in the public space for a long time. I have been involved in some form of politics or the other. Not many people know that I studied Pharmacy at University of Ife, now Obafemi Awolowo University. I have always had flair for writing and expressing myself very strongly, I have always had interest in governance issues, I have always been a student of nations. For a long time I have been writing and seeing how easy is it with the kind of resources that we have to change Nigeria. I have actually seen how easy it is for Nigeria to become part of the 1st world. I say this with all sense of responsibility. I actually mean it is easy to make Nigeria work. I am serious” What made you come to that conclusion? “Because I have travelled far and wide. For God sake, I have travelled to Singapore a lot. I have studied the growth model of Singapore. I have travelled to China a lot. I have also studied the story of how China made it. Do you know the story of how China lifted 500 million people out of poverty in record time. And I mean it. It is easy if you look at our human, material and natural resources, can you compare it to Singapore that has nothing and one Prime Minister was just determined? He just said it, “that this is what I want to achieve I want to move my people from a backward nation state to the 1st world”. Before then, people did not even know where Singapore was. I studied the growth of Singapore. I went for a Governance Programme in Singapore about 3 years ago. In the class, some of them, Singaporeans, were saying that at the time of their independence in 1965 they wanted to be like Nigeria and the Philippines. Can you imagine? Now, it is we that go there every time to spend money, and holidays and we want to be like them”. What are the lessons he has learnt from the Singaporean example? “I have seen and come to the conclusion that our problem has always been leadership. The problem is not with the Nigerian people, not at all. It worries me that Nigeria is this divided. I feel sad. On why he threw his hat in the ring, he explained that. I tell people I want to be President for 3 reasons. One, to unite this country. From day one, we can do that. You don’t need any budget to unite Nigerians. You don’t need money. All you need to do is to be sincere about it. You should be fair to all. The President should see the nation as his constituency and all those in it as his children. He is the father of all. If you are sincere about it, it is very easy to achieve. Nigeria is terribly divided today. There is no country that is this divided that can make any meaningful progress. You can now. Two, I want to provide security for Nigerians. Simple. Of course we know that the most elementary job of any President is to provide security for the people, and safety. This country has never been like this before. The security situation in Nigeria is sad. Now, we are afraid to go to the Church. We are afraid to go to the Mosque. We are afraid to go to the markets, or malls. And we are afraid to send our children to school, even in the nation’s capital. Reference |
