Like the parent of an errant child who has made enough rounds at the principal\u2019s office, Google too has some counseling to do when it comes to Google Glass users. The internet behemoth has a few etiquette lessons for Google Glass owners who have had their fair share of trouble in the past.<\/p>\n

In a set of do\u2019s and don\u2019ts released online, Google has asked the owners of the internet-equipped glasses to behave in a socially acceptable manner while using the technology.<\/p>\n

Google advises the early adopters of internet eyewear to not be rude (aka, Glassholes) when questioned about Google Glass. The company also asked people to use common sense and not wear glass during certain high-impact activities, such as surfing and cage fighting.<\/p>\n

The eyewear, which is still in the testing phase<\/a> and awaits a wider release, has come under scrutiny many times for posing a threat to privacy.

The etiquette guideline was preceded by several incidents in which Google Glass users behaved improperly. Robert Scoble, an IT professional admitted to wearing the Google Glass inside public bathrooms. Nick Starr, another wearer, demanded an apology and termination of the staff who referred to cafe policies in asking him to take off his glass.<\/p>\n

The potentially anti-social device has made some people wary, but Google is doing all that it can to change that. For one thing, the screen illuminates whenever the user records or films someone or something, and the camera-equipped glasses require a vocal command to start an action. This ensures that no one surreptitiously takes pictures using the device.<\/p>\n
