A New World Order

Today I read about 24/7 cameras. For less than $300.00 you can purchase a small camera that fastens to a pocket, shirt, or blouse and unobtrusively takes photos every thirty seconds. Whatever the camera sees it photos. The wearer does nothing, save provide itself as a carrier.

According to the article in The Wall Street Journal, at the end of the day you may have 2000 photos. Of course the camera may be put into a pause phase if you find yourself somewhere where privacy is appropriate.

Besides the overwhelming number of photographs I foresee problems for short people-- like myself. How many photos do I want of headless people?

And if you prefer video you can purchase a little round cam that that can be pinned to any garment or worn around your neck as a high tech necklace -- or stand it facing you for greater intimacy. If it's action you want-- shoot video, stills --shoot photos. When you're finished simply download to a computer.

Why do I find this all disheartening?
