It will be intresting to follow the development of video/image/network-technology in collaboration with nano-technology in the future.
As stated in the article the bad side is surveillance and privacy - but the aspect of small cool devices gets the geek-gene in me to cheer at the same time.
- webXL 16y agoIf it really is that cheap, citizens will be able to spy on the government and large corporations, assuming the technology isn't outlawed for concerns about citizens spying on each other.
- pavel_lishin 16y agoCitizens spying on each other isn't what concerns lawmakers. In at least Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland it's illegal to film police officers doing their thing - although I should point out that protecting law enforcement officers isn't the explicit reason: "Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland are among the 12 states in which all parties must consent for a recording to be legal unless, as with TV news crews, it is obvious to all that recording is underway." http://gizmodo.com/#!5553765/are-cameras-the-new-guns http://gizmodo.com/#!5553765/are-cameras-the-new-guns In any case, pretty sure sneaking a camera into a private board meeting is as illegal as it is for me to sneak one into your bedroom.
- webXL 16y agoYeah, those anti-police surveillance laws are pretty lame. My only point about being able to spy on the government and large corporations was just an illegal counter measure to potential illegal actions by the usual suspects. I would never condone such behavior ;)
