> We’re marching boldly into a panopticon future. I’ve been writing about this for years. And now, suddenly, you’re irate about the potential privacy repercussions of a few geeks bearing glasses? What is wrong with you people? Where have you been?
In the real world, where people doesn't like the idea of being pointed by a video camera all the time. Maybe geeks don't have a problem with antisocial behaviours, but most people do. Video cameras are not new, and they already annoying today for many people.
Also, your life may get fun when people starts being insincere with you because they don't want to get their true opinions recorded. Making jokes about your boss? Talking about someone? Nope, you may show him the video later (heck, you may be streaming it - forget about the blinking red led, it may have been disabled). All that can be already done today with hidden cameras, of course, but it isn't a concern because people assumes that only an asshole would do that. And how will people react when someone learns to hack them to get a secret stream of some girl's glasses?
