It's probably inevitable over time. "Smart" AR glasses that are indistinguishable from just a pair of regular glasses seem like something inevitable over the next decade or two.
or one that is truly inevitable and can’t be stopped?
Recording in public is a huge problem overall and is slowly decaying our society. People don't do anything anymore because nothing is sacred. Have you been to a club lately? It's just a room of 500 people standing there.
It gets worse the younger and younger the people are. Kids these days are too petrified to leave their homes. Every aspect of their person is under constant scrutiny.
I just don't understand how it's impossible to prevent. We haven't even tried. This is a "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" sort of mentality, which is as lazy as it is harmful.
There's plenty of things in public that you CAN do, but which we prevent pretty well. For example, every human being has the ability to flash anyone, at any time. However, we do a pretty good job preventing that via the law, despite the fact there are absolutely zero technical or physical limitations to pulling out your dick. If anything, it's one of the most human things you can do - humans have penises and vaginas because they are animals.
And yet, despite the availability of such actions, I don't have to worry much about seeing a veiny cock at the local starbucks. But you know what I do have to worry about? Being filmed, and that video being uploaded to hundreds of computers globally in real time, where it can be used for any and all purposes. Including denying me a loan, or a job, or even imprisoning me. And humans don't even have cameras built right in to their crotch.
I don't think that's asking too much. Really, I don't. Maybe I'm naive, maybe I have high expectations. Or maybe everyone else is a pathetic loser with no spine who actively advocates for things they know harm them, out of some masochistic desire for punishment.
I don't know, you decide.
