Don't be so sure.

Moore's law was only formulated to last a decade or two. It's gone longer but eventually we will start hitting some plateaus of development in all likelyhood. Though we probably won't notice too soon as once faster equipment becomes too expensive to develop we'll still have a lot of room to work on faster more efficient code.

You'll know Moore's is starting to fail when companies start advertising faster code for their products.

At least until Moore's Law ends. Dunno when it will happen but assuming the continued survival of the human race there will come a time when our computers are not becoming more powerful with each generation.

For the short and moderate term you can risk relying on Moore's but in the long run all good things come to an end.

Nor was it created to be the land of the free. At least for a large minority of its population. Remember the second amendment includes the words "well regulated" even our founding fathers thought there should be regulation. Individual rights must be balanced against the rights of others, and that is no easy task.

One thing is also G Glass is only the first and not much of a first. It is just a slight step in convenience for having the camera at the ready and on. Nearly everyone has a cellphone now.

The thing a surveillance state requires two things. Mass surveillance apparatus and a single large entity behind it. What will end up with more likely is a surveillance or sousveillance society. Where cameras and recording devices are ubiquitous but control over them is not held in any single set of hands.
