The Rise of One Who At a HUH????

I for one think that Jamais Cascio is nuts.

Sure in the next few decades things will get more recorded, and listened to, but I doubt that we will be doing it ourselves and putting it all over the web. So we snap photo's and send them to our Facebook's or something. That's just a way of sharing our lives with people who arn't there.

I'm talking about personal experiences and conversations that no one is ever supposed to hear. It will not be us who is recording and putting them onto the internet to become blackmail material or something like that. Eves dropping and recording private conversations is the government's job.

As for the camera on the glasses, how stupid and obvious. No one can take a picture discreetly with a contraption like that. I love that if there is an attractive guy in front of me I can fake like I'm just texting or something but can take a picture of him and send it to my friends.

Does that mean Big Brother is watching us? I don't think so. Until there is a lid-less electronic eye that watches every person on earth every second of everyday I don't think Big Brother has much in the way of information on the everyday person.

The rise of technology yes, technology taking over our lives until we can't make a move without the world knowing.... let's leave the 1984 like idea's to the world of fiction shall we?
