Possibly. From a privacy pov, I suppose I'd also prefer a decentralized option like this, where everybody just gets their own small slice of all the data instead of one government collecting all of it in a centralized location. It might be slightly less efficient, but in general it's a better way of roughly getting the data just where it needs to be, as long as it needs to be.
Also note that the thing that caught on = something with a rather direct very personal advantage to the adopter, while your suggestion (that hasn't caught on) = something that personally helps against very rare events and sort of increase ambient security for everyone. Some lesson about human nature, here :)
- randallsquared 14y agoFrom a privacy pov, decentralized is worse, is it not? If no one can enforce a no-recording rule, there will eventually be available video of essentially everything. I think that's exactly the world we're heading for, and I prefer it to a world in which some entity has the power to compel the absence of recording, but Schmidt is very likely to be right: privacy is dead.
