Have you seen the average teenage girl lately? They point cameras at themselves and others all the time, this would free their hands. I don't know whether it will be a success, but I don't think the crowd that doesn't want a camera pointed at them is a majority. For the record, I don't want a camera pointed at me.

Is this a generational thing? I've started using Instagram lately and I just can't understand how people who are doctors, lawyers, or dentists are posting content providing professional advice or tips and tricks one day and the next day it's videos of them doing yoga in thongs to sell underwear. There is the odd account where developers are posting similar content. Even elementary school teachers are twerking in videos in their classroom for likes. If the upcoming generation of developers and tech professionals no longer believe in a separation of personal and professional boundaries, will we see a complete elimination of boundaries and privacy? Is the end goal to have the ability to directly tap into what others are seeing on demand in their most intimate interactions. Something similar to the TV adaption of Brave New World? (I haven't read the book, so I don't know if this is true to the original.) As far as I know, Facebook photos and accounts are private, or that's what it appears people tend to send the accounts to, but Instagram is all about leaving an account open, so they can get influencer collaboration bucks.

  Several of my team at work are connected to our manager on Facebook, let alone LinkedIn. I'm definitely not comfortable with it.

    This is probably only OK if you work at Facebook. Otherwise it's pretty weird (unless you were friends with them before the gig, presumably).

I don't know if it would help them much. They want the camera pointed at themselves. I guess they could use them while looking in the mirror.
