Some of you may know about Dr. Steve Mann (U Toronto), who has been
developing and using technology like Google Glass since the 1980s. He's
actually been declared physically dependent upon it by a physician, as a
result of physiological adaptation to long-term continous use. Anyway,
he's had a couple of incidents because of his wearable devices. The two
cases that I can remember are:
The 2002 St John's Airport Incident
"http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/14/technology/at-airport-gate-a-cyborg-unplugged.html"
The 2012 Paris McDonald's incident
"http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2012/07/18/toronto_cyborg_steve_mann_says_he_was_assaulted_in_paris_mcdonalds.html"
I don't see this situation getting better any time soon. At the same
time, I believe that this kind of technology is only going to become
more common ... and maybe it seems like science fiction right now, but
I can definitely imagine a world in which nearly everyone is recording
everything they see, almost all the time (note to self: turn off record
and broadcast functions in washroom). Eventually, the only way out for
people that don't want to be recorded will be to wear scramble suits
("A Scanner Darkly" by Philip K. Dick) whenever they're out in public.
Regards,
Bill
