I'm spaniard I don't have these impression.
Man I see people that are around 50-60 years old using a modern smarthphone to play games or using Whatsap, in the train.
But the funny fact is that here have some tendency to call some products/marks/films by the original English name as look more exotic or modern. For example "Star Trek" (not Camino a las Estrellas), "smartphone", "open source", etc... But with google glass is just the opposite.

Just to think - there are people in some parts of the world who do not speak English - is there an app for that?
VerbalizeIt. But seriously, Google is branding Google Glass as "Glass" and not as "glasses"
