We have heard people scream about cameras on street corners, and invading privacy in the name of security,... NOW there comes a camera one your clothes, in your glasses, worn in a woman's hair, or on a cap ... a picture every 30-seconds ... 2000 in a day... no act, or criminal will be unseen, unrecorded. And developers claim, "the device has an app and cloud-storage platform to ensure that no experience — no matter how mundane — will go undocumented." The people do away with "Big Brother" exclusiveness by becoming a "Big Brother" culture.
Oddly, society should welcome this new invention. It means we can be safer than ever before. Of course, there will be governments who will be fearful of it. They would not want their actions seen, and documented by the countless witnesses, each recording and uploading different angles of the same misconduct, or crime.
Granted, we might not have sound, but we will see the actions – the money change hands, the papers passed, the people killed. Could there ever be another Holocaust that goes unreported? Could there be crimes against humanity, when humanity is uploading the visuals to cyberspace?
For that reason, after a lively debate on Reddit, a web-based discussion board, the developers dropped plans to have pictures automatically uploaded. After all, we wouldn’t want the evidence secure from the criminal – now would we?
By-the-by, it’s a 5-megapixel camera that is roughly the size of a lapel pin.
