Comments like this always remind me of when camera phones were controversial and had to make a loud clicking noise when they took pictures so everyone knew it was happening. Fast forward 10-15 years and do you really know whether that person using their phone across from you on the bus isn't recording you?
Nope.
- mozumder 10y agoThere are far, far more tech failures than there are successful ones. You can bet on this (and most tech products) failing hard.
- exergy 10y agoUh, yep? If you're using your phone for reading or some such, it is perhaps at a 45 degree angle to the horizontal, or even less. If you're sneaking a creep shot, the angle is much greater. You can always tell when someone is clicking a picture.
- dEnigma 10y agoThey might be filming themselves though; even if they don't do anything worth filming they could be just using their phone as a mirror.
- wingerlang 10y agoStill the case in Japan iirc.
- StavrosK 10y agoNot only that, but phones know where you are and start making noise! I was in Tokyo and saw a cute father and baby and wanted to take a photo on the train, but the phone made a loud "click!" even in silent mode, and I looked like a perv. At least the Japanese were too polite to say anything.
