What Is Glasshole?
The first thing to know about glassholes is that they are people like you and me. The second thing is that they could be nicer people. No one knows where the term "glasshole" originated, but it's become prevalent in recent years as more people use Google Glass devices. The consensus is that the time was coined by a person being harassed by someone wearing a Google Glass device while in public and didn't want to be spotted by said glasshole. Glassholes can be found everywhere: at the gym, at bars and restaurants, on subways, or walking down the street. They tend to be very rude because they don't realize how their behavior affects others around them. They don't often take any precautions when using their device—they'll talk loudly about what's on their screen without realizing other people might be watching them do it, or they'll wear it while driving, which is dangerous for everyone involved because it can distract from going tasks like keeping eyes on the road or watching traffic signals which could lead to accidents! Glasshole is not just a funny word describing people who wear Google Glass. It's a cultural phenomenon that reveals much about our relationship with technology and how we interact with the people around us. The term first arose in 2012 when a man wearing Google Glass was ejected from an establishment for using it during dinner. The time has since been used in various contexts: from describing someone who is always on their phone to someone who always wears Google Glass. It's easy to see why the term caught on: it's hard not to feel like a "glasshole" when constantly distracted by your phone or other devices. But there's more to it than just being too glued to your phone—it also speaks to how people increasingly avoid human interaction in favor of interacting with machines. This is similar to the issue of "phone snubbing" or "phubbing," which has been a significant concern of smartphones and mobile devices. When using these devices, many tune out different surrounding interactions to focus more extensively on their machines. There is much blowback around this and a concerted campaign to deal with phone snubbing - and if Google Glass continues.
