A lot of people make fun of Google Glass. Some of them think wearing Glass makes you look like a hipster cyborg.
Others object to the built-in spy camera, which is a screaming privacy violation and a good way to get yourself punched in the nose.
But not many people criticize the actual technology of Glass (which is generally excellent). They talk instead about the social problems of wearing Glass.
My guess, therefore, is that Google Glass will never become a popular consumer item. It will settle into niches where having a hands-free camera and screen make sense: extreme sports, aircraft maintenance, surgery, and so on.
