The privacy implications are only one of the off-putting elements of the new norm of constant filming. There's something vapid and self-absorbed about everything being filmed and shared. Existing in the moment isn't enough anymore. For many, each moment needs to be preempted for a contrived video or pic.
I can appreciate the potential utility of a HUD in daily scenarios. For myself, I'm content to go sans device when I'm out of the house. Don't I get enough here at my desk? Not everything needs to be computed, optimized or shared.
- gdulli 1y agoRight, I can't imagine in 2025 wanting to be more online instead of less. I know that giving up a habit is very hard, but I don't know why people would go out of their way to make it worse.
- thehyperflux 1y agoYeah, and the nature of consciousness is such that you fundamentally cannot gain anything from consciously recording more of your life for future viewing/nostalgia/reminiscence without robbing your future self of more immediate experience of the moment.
