From what I remember Google glass had an indicator when it was recording, people just assumed it doesn’t and/or it’s always recording

That’s correct. The indicator light was pretty obvious.

I always found it fascinating how upset people get about the idea of a novel device recording them without permission, but it is a complete non-issue that a familiar device (the common smart phone) could also record them without permission with less of a chance of them noticing.

Yep, there were issues with it, but none of the reactions were based on actual issues and only because people just didn’t like it.

Fun fact: there were already glasses which looked more normal and were able to record you without any indication at all and so much cheaper too. Not so fun if you are on the receiving end tbf.
