This document discusses various types of wearable technology including Google Glass, medical bands, smart gloves, and hi-tech fabrics. It outlines some of the applications and uses of Google Glass, but also discusses several privacy and ethical issues with wearable devices, such as hackers taking control of the device, recording private conversations or meetings without consent, and potential health concerns. The document proposes establishing rules for how and where humans can use wearables to comply with privacy regulations and protect users.

3. Google
Glass
Applications and Uses:
■ Google claims Glass offers many functions including mapping, recording
photos and videos (with ability to stream live video of what you are looking at),
internet searching, and language translation – all operated by voice command.

5. Security issues
Wearable gadgets have a huge privacy and ethical
implications.
 Hacker can take a control of Google Glass and monitor
everything you are looking at (entering password and door
code) and hear everything you do. Call centers where staff
has access to client data should ban such devices.
 Taking videos at the meeting could considered as bullying.
 Traffic safety concern. The driver view field is shortened
and obscured due to Google Glass and AR messages.
Society, government and companies
have to establish the rules of how and
where human use wearables to comply
with law and privacy regulations.

6. Privacy and copyright issues
 Spyware can upload private video and voice.
 Device can surreptitiously record the meeting, private
conversation, etc.
 Cinema and theatres are banning Google Glass and rewrite
copyright policies for such devices.

8. Wrist-worn devices
iWatch. More immediate and intimate way to
connect.
Fuel band for activity tracking
• Health data can be shared with or sold to third party.
• Your personal activity can my tracked implicitly.
• Device do not know your health issues (breathing, cardiovascular problems)
• Can be potentially harmful (Lens with embedded electronics)

12. Three laws of wearables/cyborgs
1. Smart wearables may not injure
a wearer or guide human to a
dangerous situation.
2. Wearables must obey the orders
given to it by the wearer, except
where such order would conflict
with the First Law.
3. Wearables must not take over
the control of the wearer, obey
privacy and information security
of the human beings.
