Criticism of Google Glass

There has been quite a lot of skepticism about Google Glass, from privacy and safety issues, to the aesthetics of its design. The criticism has even reached the core of the product, that is to say that it provides no compelling benefit to the user. This concern about the lack of a compelling benefit is the one that is most frequently expressed, across a range of industries and demographics. At its root, this criticism is based on a comparison to existing products, mainly smartphones that can provide potential users with the same functionalities and mobile applications. As a consequence of this comparison, potential users do not perceive the existing functionalities of Google Glass as being innovative and valuable. The interface might be the only thing that is new and innovative to the glasses but I do not think that it solves any problems and adds to the tech of today. What are your thoughts on it?
