The good thing about being with someone is that : being with someone ALONE. Not someone analyzing what I did with my wife one month ago, where, how, why. The idea is not new, Justin started http://www.justin.tv/ http://www.justin.tv/ recording everything in his life with a video camera. I don't want anything I say or do being recorder by someone else(I know this camera only takes pictures, by now), and I don't want other people(smartphone manufacturer and the US government) to know what I did Thursday at 3:00 pm. One of the worse things about living in a small village is all people controlling what others do, gossip here and there. In cities people were free of other people trying to control them, with cameras everywhere and web social services it is becoming rural village again. It is big brother´s dream. In the future the government will use cameras on the street, face recognition and servers to track anybody at any time.

  You don't get to choose if the people around you are using it.

    I remember a post from another thread saying that our experience of being able to go out anonymously in a crowd is basically a blip in human history. When you live in a village it's impossible to go anywhere (you still have privacy when you're actually in private) without all your neighbours knowing, and it'll be the same when this technology becomes widespread.

      Many of our current daily experiences are a blip in human history. I'm not concerned about how old the experience of relative anonymity in public spaces is. It's a good thing, that we should strive to keep.

  Cameras facing outward will record everything but the person wearing them (unless they face a mirror).

    Ah, thanks. I misread. I thought the OP as complaining about wanting to be alone with someone, rather than analyzing what they did earlier with the person.

A comforting hope - those of us who desire freedom will be the first settlers of Space.
