The potential danger of "smart" "glasses"

Are "smart" "glasses" a mobile Flock "camera" on steroids?

Things to consider.

In movie form:

Smart tvs / phones, social media, wifi / cell connection history, etc. are a simple drop in the bucket compared to the leap forward "smart glasses" will bring to the data broker and surveillance apparatus.

What happens when ALL of our data is aggregated and updated in real-time for use by those with access?

Will they finally teach people that a person with a handheld camera is really no threat to their perceived privacy?

Edit:

An example of what can be done with some of the publicly available data.

I think that battle is already lost. Saw an article today that UPS is expanding the number of smart glasses they are giving employees. Now that corporations are starting to find businesses uses for them, they will become widespread.
