> It’s technically possible today to wear a mic and record everything you hear and say for your entire life, but no one does that, and most people would find anyone that did very weird. I suspect that is largely due to technical limitations. Devices only recently became small enough, and battery life would still be a limiting factor for (say) your phone meaning you would need to carry a second device. Then there's the issue with placement - modern microphones still don't seem to work when obstructed by (for example) your pocket. Contrast this with the (hypothetical) option to record everything using your phone, without meaningfully impacting its battery life, while it was still in your pocket. I think most people would actually opt to do that, even if it was technically illegal in their jurisdiction. There's just not really any downside and a whole bunch of potential upsides from the perspective of an individual.
