The other lawyers thought something was wrong.
So people were already thinking something is just not quite right with the way this guy is speaking.
He looked stilted.
He looked like he was kind of focusing on the glasses.
It was kind of hard to tell.
But then when the technology actually failed and you could hear the coach's voice in the open court, then everyone knew that the gig was up and the guy was busted.
So I think this is a lesson in courts, just like they have rules or acceptable use rules about electronics being brought into the courtroom, like
a smartphone or a laptop, I think they have to update those rules to include smart glasses, because unlike a smartphone, it's almost impossible to tell when someone is using smart glasses for this purpose.
If I hold up a smartphone and I pointed at you, you know, but if I'm just wearing a pair of smart glasses on my face and I've got speakers in my ears or I'm looking at you with a camera, you wouldn't know.
So, you know, courts have to kind of get into the 21st century here and adapt to this technology because clearly people are trying to rig the system here.
And this isn't just some random case that happened in London, which it is in the case with Mark Zuckerberg that has kind of gotten a lot of media attention recently about like whether online platforms are addictive for young kids and stuff.
There were members of the meta team in the courtroom wearing smart glasses and the judge is like, hey, don't do that.
If you do that, you could be held in contempt.
I'm not saying Mark Zuckerberg did it when he took the stand, but like, yeah, this is like maybe something that's gonna happen more and more in courtrooms because if you can be coached or just have notes while you're presenting or someone can tell you how to handle a tough question using your smart glasses, this makes proceedings unfair.
It does.
It tilts the playing field unfairly and it's an unfair use of technology to gain advantage.
And clearly courts, not just in London, but everywhere have to figure this out.
Because smart glasses are becoming really popular and they are becoming increasingly unobtrusive.
And, you know, to the point that at some point we won't be carrying smartphones anymore because that functionality will be built into the glasses that we wear.
What do we do then?
