Not if only the elites use 'em!
- TeMPOraL 3y agoYes, but ironically. More specifically, devices like this are cool when not widely known or adopted. As for "elite control", "elite" ain't controlling shit here - they're just peddling things to general population and raking it in. Outside of misplaced paranoia about government (misplaced in that spooks don't wait for surveillance equipment to be available off-the-shelf), people aren't worried about elites, they're worried about each other - randos on the streets being creeped out by other randos on the street. Society doesn't have the levels of kindness and trust to tolerate these kinds of technologies. Which is a shame, given the positives. (Of course those technologies being developed by advertising companies isn't a good thing, but notice how hardly anyone talks about that. People are too creeped out by each other, and not enough by advertisers.)
