WCDT: 2500-2504 (29 July- August 2, 2013) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
St.Clair:
Welcome to the Panoptikon (alternately, "the fishbowl"), where privacy is a quaint but obsolete notion.
ChaosWolf:
She talked about how the Glasses could track when and how long he had them on.
Assuming this wasn't some manner of (failed) bluff to get him to not deactivate him...
...what if the sysem also tracked how they interacted with each other? I doubt whoever's in charge would be too pleased at the vitriol she's spewing at him.

not all that different from what facebook does already; using face-recognition software, & letting people other than the up-loader tag photos with profile links. we're already living in a corporate panopticon, and nobody seems to care.
personally, i rather like the idea of google glass, but i'd rather have it as just a display that i could plug into other devices that i keep in my pockets.
Method of Madness:
I'd like that, especially since I wouldn't have to worry about data if I was just seeing my phone through glasses.
