Big brother's listening at all times--ready to allow you to save it.  |

Things like this is part of my windows 10 reluctance. No thanks. Not saying they're already not listening but this is literally asking for it.

Big Brother? Only if YOU are BB yourself. I don't doubt that the creators see it as a social media tool. But I see it as a cool way to capture ideas for personal use. Improvising on your instrument and a brilliant phrase/lyric pops out? ..just save the moment (after the fact). On the other hand, I'd be reluctant to have a conversation with anyone who's wearing one. Of course, if it takes off, it won't be long before these things are basically invisible - or a standard part of the wearable device du jour - in which case I'll have to stop talking to everyone. I like the idea - but I'm pretty sure I'm not a fan of how it will be used.

I'm with M57. I can see some really productive uses, but I can see the issues too. I like the idea and positives, but the negatives probably outweigh them unfortunately. |

Yes, big bother. While intended to be funny, social media IS the face of BB. The corporatized data collection...I'm not afraid of our government (i.e. NSA) as big brother-there are checks and balances. For profit corporations who can operate globally without answering to anyone and being driven literally by nothing more than profit?
We're now allowing real time streams of our home audio and video to be initiated via Amazon and Google voice control of Internet enabled "assistant" devices....and Internet monitored home security cameras by out cable company? maybe get a Fitbit so that your insurance company can have real time access to various body function. Then cross reference when your heart rate goes up with your audio and home video feed.
Like Roger Waters said in a recent interview about amused to death's reissue--you don't have to burn the books if you can convince people to voluntarily stop reading them. Hold up scary Orwell vision in one hand as boogeyman while slowly incrementally implementing Huxley's.

I'm fine with it for the following reasons.. A. I already don't talk to.... "the peeeeoooople"  B. The vast majority of the stupid things i say, or could suffer embarrassment from if they are repeated, are written down in blue and white for easy access scoff ability 8) |

This is actually very cool. In my band days, I would have had many uses for this. Not only for capturing improvised musical ideas, but also having awsome memories of all the dumb bonehead statements from my drummer. |

This should just be an app for the Samsung S-Gear or Apple Watch, not a stand-alone product. Hurray, a wristwatch that doesn't tell time smh *eye-roll*

For music? Yeah maybe.
For the old lady?
Oh hell yeah!
"Honey, you just said you thought the Iran-Contra affair happened in Iran. Part of it did I guess but really-"
"No I didn't. "
"Yes you fucking did!"
"No I said an important part of the Iran Contra affair was the hostages..."
"-Bullshit, you just looked that up on your phone."
"No i didn't. What I said was - if you'll let me continue?- was that PART of the Ira-"
"Oh yeah listen to this."
Busts out kapture and plays back conversation:
"The Iran Contra affair didn't have anything to do with Nicaragua you silly. It was in Iran. That's why its called the 'Iran contra affair'..."
Ah yeah that would be nice.
