ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: The perfect technology for creeps?
กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
Smart glasses are a new technology for your face that millions of people are buying for some reason.
2
And while big tech companies like meta, Google, Apple and snap hope that these futuristic spectacles will one day be the next iPhone.
3
A whole lot of other people think they're basically just for perverts.
4
So are these devices the future of personal computing or are they simply ideal creeper peepers?
5
According to Google, the term smart glasses refers to eyewear that's equipped with gadgetry such as a camera, microphone, speakers, visual display, and more.
6
Meanwhile, the term pervert refers to sex freaks who own those toe shoe things.
7
Now we in 2026 are no strangers to the social ridicule that's thrust upon smartglasses enthusiasts.
8
Users of Google Glass were quickly labeled glass holes, while users of Snap Spectacles were quickly labeled assholes compared to their predecessors.
9
However, today's smart glasses have seen remarkable commercial success.
10
By far, the most popular pair are Ray-Bans from meta, which sold over 7 million pairs last year before launching a buzzy partnership with Kylie Jenner.
11
But whenever there's a boom, there's backlash.
12
Pervert glasses problem with Meta ray bans. Ban the pervy meta glasses right now.
13
Freaks and perverts recording us in public.
14
Creepy and dangerous.
15
They're the worst.
16
One of the most terrifying, most horrifying inventions.
17
A psy-op to make surveillance technology more civilian.
18
They don't know when they're being filmed.
19
You’re a fucking creep. Didn't know he was recording me.
20
The so-called pervyness of smartglasses comes from how easy it is to sneakily record with their built in cameras.
21
Unsurprisingly, this has been used to create an entire genre of videos my middle school cousin showed me that feature pickup artists trying to rizz people while secretly filming them.
22
Granted, the meta glasses do have a little LED light in the corner of them to indicate when they're recording, but users have found ways to get around that.
23
I'm going to do this now.
24
Do you see a light?
25
No. No, nothing.
26
I'm recording you.
27
Right now you are? Right now.
28
Joanna Stern is an independent tech reporter who, for journalistic purposes, recently became a pervert herself after paying a man to remove the recording light on her meta glasses.
29
I took these glasses to a man's garage in new Jersey.
30
Stay with me for a second.
31
He was offering a service to drill the light out of these glasses as a service.
32
Because people do not want you to know they're recording you.
33
So gave these glasses to him, gave him a little bit of money.
34
He took a little tiny drill drilled inside to the light right before it sort of breaks the light bulb, but not the sensor.
35
And he then did some magic with epoxy and put this epoxy on top of the broken area to make it look very smooth and like there was still glass there.
36
And so if you look really close into this, you would have no idea that this was ever broken.
37
And he did this all in a matter of, I would say, ten minutes in his garage.
38
I gave him $100 and then I left.
39
Altering the light in one's glasses is a violation of Meta's Terms of service agreement.
40
I know because I read it during foreplay.
41
Joanna told me that following her investigation Meta cracked down on the entire industry of so-called modders across social media by disabling their glasses’ cameras and threatening legal action.
42
Meanwhile, many organizations are banning smart glasses outright and some states are proposing new recording laws that account for horn dogs walking around covertly recording us hot people.
43
As you're probably seeing in your research, there are states where it's one party consent only I have to consent to recording you.
44
There are other states where there's a two party consent, where you have to consent, and I have to consent, and we decide together.
45
We are consenting adults that are recording each other.
46
We don't necessarily yet have precedent about this.
47
Right now, this is sort of the Wild West in terms of the law.
48
But despite the backlash, Big Tech isn't slowing down in their ambitions to smart our glasses.
49
I've spent the last ten years reporting on various smart glasses AR glasses efforts at all of the major players.
50
I don't think it's a stretch to say I've probably broken more stories on this topic than any human alive.
51
Alex Heath is an independent tech reporter who writes the fantastic newsletter Sources.
52
The last time he came on my program- ew.
53
The last time he was on good work, he sported a pair of the meta douchemasters, so I felt it necessary to invite him back on to talk about the smartglasses industry as a whole.
54
Dan, do you want to apply to this exciting job?
55
Dan, do you want to drink some vino tonight?
56
I have an exciting opportunity for you.
57

Dan, your CEO has requested Dan, that nothing is worse than being interrupted by spam, especially when you were trying to do something important like YouTubing.
60
But spam doesn't simply just happen.
61
You get spam messages because at some point you gave your information to accompany you trusted, and they either didn't protect it, or they sold it to a data broker who sold it to a scammer.
62
Those bastards.
63
But folks, today's sponsor can help you fight the good fight against spam.

70

77
Meta is definitely leading it in terms of putting stuff out, but there's a lot coming.
78
So Google is reviving glass later this year is going to be coming out with their own approach with Warby Parker, Gentle Monster, basically every other eyewear brand that meta couldn't lock up.
79
Apple is also working on its own pair of smart glasses that everyone thinks are coming in 2027, and then you've got snap, which has its first consumer release for full AR glasses, later this year.
80
And while so far the most popular use case of smart glasses appears to be steroided out Miami guys hitting on teenage girls while streaming on some platform called Juzz, Big Tech hopes that this technology will soon mature.
81
The number one argument we hear from tech companies developing smart glasses right now is you can be freed from your phone, which is ironic since those are the very companies that tethered us and trapped us on our phones.
82
But now we want to give you something to get away from that.
83
You don't need to be scrolling all the time.
84
You don't need to go to your camera, get distracted by five other notifications, and then not take the photo.
85
It's kind of like how the cigarette companies are the ones that own Zyn right now, and Zyn is advertised as a way to get off cigarettes in a way.
86
that's actually a really good comparison.
87
I hadn't thought of that one.
88
I like that. Really.
89
Like actually? I think so.
90
We were workshopping that for several weeks.
91
Okay. Replacement for the phone is the grand ambition, but everyone building this agrees that's going to take a long time, and the phone will probably always be around.
92
The real holy grail for these companies is true augmented reality, or AR glasses that overlay computing onto the world around you, rather than have it be trapped inside, you know, a little screen on your phone.
93
But to get to a place where we're all weaning off our phone addictions by getting addicted to our smart glasses, these companies face a huge uphill battle in overcoming the creep factor that's taken down this technology before.
94
For more, here's a guy with a camera on his face.
95
They keep getting it wrong over and over again, and I keep seeing these companies trying to make smart glasses and just going down the toilet.
96
It's kind of creepy.
97
It's it's just fundamentally wrong.
98
Steve Mann is the so-called father of the wearable computer who started building some of the earliest iterations of this shit in the 1970s, creating prototypes of the smartwatch and augmented reality goggles.
99
That thing on his head? Brain scanner!
100
While Steve has been made famous by his bespoke cyborg life, he believes that many of the smart glasses that are coming out today prioritize the wrong things.
101
So what I argue is that weartech—wearable technologies—is, is very close and intimate and connected to us.
102
And so it should not be a technology of surveillance.
103
The technology needs to be able to see and understand the world around it in order to help us see, like it's functioning like eyeglasses, it fundamentally has to be able to see.
104
So then how do you create a technology that can see while also creating a technology that doesn't, that that isn't a piece of surveillance technology?
105
That's the key essence. That's a tough problem.
106
And the thing is, a lot of these companies are skirting around it, trying to make a fast buck.
107
There's a lot of questions like, where is my data going?
108
How do I verify?
109
So you yourself find the modern smart glasses creepy?
110
Absolutely.
111
I don't want nothing to do with any of it.
112
That human Best Buy makes some good points.
113
In February, a story went viral saying that meta was considering putting facial recognition features in the glasses, which came with a patent for the technology depicting people hanging out whilst being ogled at by perhaps the pervious man to ever perv.
114
Separately, there have been reports that meta contractors have seen footage of smart glasses users changing clothes and using the bathroom, and while meta is doing their usual backpedaling, none of this makes it seem like they're developing their supposed paradigm shifting technology in the most responsible way.
115
Which is why if I see anybody wearing a pair of these, I find it only right to assume that they're a pervert and making my personal responsibility to shoot them in the brain.
116
Corey Catholic is a man who is blind, and is also the assistive technology manager at the Perkins Library at the Perkins School for the blind.
117
And Dan Toomey is a journalist who is very sorry and did not mean to insinuate that we should shoot blind people in the brain.
118
Corey explained to my prejudiced ass that his experience with this technology has proven smart glasses to be a game changer for both him and the people that he works with, even with the privacy risks that come from wearing them.
119
So are smart glasses just for pervs?
120
Well, if you think all blind people are pervs than sure, but then you'd be a piece of shit.
121
Meta has sold nearly 10 million of these devices, and I don't think they've sold 10 million devices to perverts.
122
There's obviously a lot of functionality of the smart glasses.
123
We can list some.
124
There's the cameras, there's the ability to talk to AI.
125
I would call that the second use case, and then the third case just using them as AirPods or earbuds.
126
I really fell into the first category where I, on the weekends, did not want to have my phone all the time when hanging out with my kids.
127
This typically happens with any kind of technology, where there's a group of bad actors that kind of ruin it for everyone else, at least in terms of mind share.
128
And I think that's what's happened here.
129
I think the public's right to be questioning if the world needs these.
130
I don't think anyone expects them to just be embraced.
131
I think they need to be good products first and foremost, before any kind of like sentiment shift on them is even warranted.
132
By now, I think it's safe to say that we're at a point where smartglasses haven't proven themselves to be good enough to replace everybody's phones, and while these things do already make some people's lives easier, especially those who need accessibility help, it seems like the best applications of commercial smart glasses remain niche.
133
Meanwhile, my investigation has proven their mere existence creates the possibility of a flourishing surveillance state that makes perverts lives easier than ever.
134
And if there's anything we don't want to do, it's make perverts lives easier.
135
I mean, I remember the days when creeps had to sweat for it.
136
Wait eight hours in a tree next to some honeys bathroom window, become a French painter and demand that all of your subjects be topless.
137
Steal a pair of briefs for you to sniff.
138
We used to be somebody.
139
So do all the big tech product developers out there.
140
If you want me to think that these things are for a mass audience other than perverts, you got some work to do.
141
And that's something I can clearly see.
142
Smart glasses or not.
143
And for good work, I'm Dan Toomey.
144
Folks, I don't know if you know this, but there's another accessory out there that a lot of people think is also only for perverts.
145
But I want to get ahead of that and definitively say that trench coats are not pervert clothes. See?
146
Look how good and normal I look in that.
147
Sure, they're full coverage and quick release buttons make them the perfect garment for flashing.
148
But don't listen to what people say about the trench coat.
149
It's a tool of televisual journalism.
150
The full coverage that simply inspires me to get full coverage of the story and nothing more.
151
So in 2026 and in the years ahead, what do you say we leave the old trench coat alone and quit yelling at me on the street about it?
152
There's nothing to see here.
153
Okay? All right.
154
Glad we could settle that.
155
I'm innocent.
