Mark Zuckerberg is a toxic, tough guy wannabe who clearly nurses deep neuroses from childhood. So it is no surprise that his company Meta has launched the most invasive, cringy technology that one can imagine – eyeglasses that allow people to spy on and video everyone around them. If there is a better example of technology run amok I cannot imagine it.
Facebook, later Meta, became a juggernaut by fouling the waters of social media and amplifying the insecurities of vulnerable tweens and adolescents with their addictive algorithms. After a pathetic, failed fever dream of creating the metaverse, Zuckerberg pivoted to the final frontier of privacy - glasses that assault both the users and every unwitting person they encounter with unneeded and despised technology.
We have smart phones and watches and oura rings. We have ipads and air pods and headphones, and a few of us still use computers. How much of our bodies and our lives can we smother in technology before we have finally had enough?
Zuckerberg’s pervert glasses seem to be hitting a brick wall lately. People talk about being ridiculed and shamed for wearing them. There are huge privacy issues when people have the means to record voice and video without consent of people around them. Who could have possibly thought this was a good idea? Zuckerberg, of course.
If there is any justice in this universe, then meta glasses will die a quick death and be a huge failure for Meta and its broligarchic founder, Zuckerberg. If not, then they will be one more nail in the coffin of humanity’s chance to lead a life unfettered by constant technological irritations.
