Globalisation and the media: wider issues

1) Why was Google Glass controversial?

The problem that people have with Google Glass is that people are concerned with the lack of privacy that Google Glass provide or the lack of. A feature of Google Glass is that it records everything that you see while you are walking about day to day as a result you don't have any permission from the general public to be recording them without their knowledge it's like a form of stalking. 
2) What are the positive elements to Globalisation that the article highlights?

The positive elements that come from this article relating to Globalisation is that people are now more than ever connected to everyone else and able to create a community between people and because of the fact that globalisation is all about connecting with each other through the worldwide web with Google Glass focusing on the feature strongly it shows how Google Glass sure a strong mentality with Globalisation
3) What are potential negatives to Globalisation?

A negetive is that only the rich and wealthy people are going to afford a product like this so as a result the community that would be developed through globalisation would consist of the same people and also the lack of privacy is a serious concern for people who like their privacy and as a result they are unaware that they are being watched by a device and could be exploited if fallen to the wrong hands.
4) What is a techno-panic? How does it link to moral panics?

A moral panic is a feeling of fear spread among a large number of people that some evil threatens the well-being of society alternatively A techno-panic is therefore a moral panic that centres on fears regarding specific contemporary technology or technological activity. Therefore they both centre around challenging a great number of people through a specific topic at hand

5) What is your opinion on the privacy debate and major corporations being able to access large quantities of personal data?

My opinion on the lack of privacy from Google Glass is that I don't see it much differently from CCTV camera that we have in the general public in the sense that we are consistently being recorded anyway so I don't really care that somebody is unintentionally recording me 99% of people that will purchase a Google Glass wouldn't be using the recording function as a way to spy on people even if this could help people more than it will hurt people meaning that this could lead to a rise in citizen journalism with people using their Google Glass to get an exclusive or maybe the police being able to use Google Glass to help them day to day so in total I see more benefits than drawbacks when it comes to Google Glass when it comes to privacy.
