OK Glass, RIP Privacy: The Democratization Of Surveillance

How's this for synchronicity: Google Glass started shipping on the same week that CISPA passed the House, 3DRobotics unveiled their new site, and 4chan and Reddit pored over surveillance photos trying to crowdsource the identity of the Boston bombers. Cameras on phones. Cameras on drones. Cameras on glasses. Cameras atop stores, in ATMs, on the street, on lapels, up high in the sky. Modern cars log detailed data their manufacturers can access if they so desire. Oh, and "if you carry a phone, your location is being recorded every minute of every day." In 1999, Sun CEO Scott McNealy said: "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it." Sadly, that sounds more prophetic every week.
