I wouldn't mind the idea of everything going digital. So long as we actually own the digital copies we buy. So long also as we are able to continually access said digital copies. We wouldn't be having this physical vs digital debate going on for so long, if the practices of what companies like Sony and other media companies have been going about with handling digitally purchased content.

It's a very stupid easy of a solution that has been continually fumbled time and time again. Because greed got in the way.

Connected glasses. I'm all for privacy-respecting HUD that connects to your phone, I think that's cool. But recording others? Connecting it to Meta? Fuck that.

    Glasses as monitors, or even AR/VR (without cameras preferably, just plain old see through, but not connected to the mothership) cool as hell, actually looking for the right thing.

    I can imagine a use case for camera enabled glasses, blind people, connect to a phone local vision model and speech synthesis, great.

    Siphon directly to Meta? Oh hell no!

    Sometimes I wonder how many of other people's photos I'm in without knowing it. But for me that's just a wistful idle thought - I really don't get why so many people get super upset about cameras. Cameras have been around for more than a century. People have been taking home movies and videos for at least half of that time. Why the recent surge of outrage, and where does expecting privacy in public even come from?
