Augmented Identity

Heh. I wonder if wearing full-face visors or respirator masks or other identity-obscuring veils will become popular in the future? I mean, think how hard it is for a celebrity to go out in public now; and it would only take a few of them to start a 'privacy trend'

An identity stealing telephone?

The kids these days.

Back when I was your age, we had to join a secret government agency, just to get a telephone installed in our shoes! And the fax technique involved standing on a waffle iron. Can you imagine?

I can't wait for someone to combine this with a glasses based HUD. If one could feed their algorithm the Facebook corpus of pictures to train it on, you could recognize a significant percentage of random people on the street.

Privacy advocates are going to go nuts.
