I'd rather see someone create really, really disruptive technology like a "personal privacy bubble" I can activate when I choose to. Something that will auto-blurr and auto-jam all video/audio. THAT is something people would like. "Want to film me? I opt out!"


There are quite a few companies working on this it seems: http://www.technologyreview.com/news/405968/lights-camera-ja... or http://news.cnet.com/2100-1009-5074852.html

And a non-portable options is for purchase http://www.jammer-store.com/uv30-uhf-vhf-jammer-blocker.html (no connection with this site).


You mean like for when you go to the adult book store?


Or a bar. Or a church. Or a sexual health clinic. Or a comic book convention. Or for a run. Or on a date. Or sunbathing on a beech.


Lol, people still buy adult books in stores? How about all those CCTV camera's? The camera's in stores can even tell if you're male/female and your general emotion (according to the lines in your face).

Question is: Do I even have the right not to be filmed? Somehow I think not... Apple did file a patent to disable iPhone video recording using lasers (to be used at concerts).
