It's probably inevitable over time. "Smart" AR glasses that are indistinguishable from just a pair of regular glasses seem like something inevitable over the next decade or two.

I hope that eventually ‘smart’ localised and portable EMPs become a thing. Arms race. I'm only partially kidding.

is this the future we actually want????

or one that is truly inevitable and can’t be stopped?

    Want? I don't know. Outside of draconian regulation and punishment I don't see how you really stop aside from some level of social pressure/norms which can work to a degree. (No, you don't film/livestream the dinner party among friends that you are at.) People post photos from social events all the time. That ship has mostly sailed. Video and audio is mostly just an additional increment.

      I'm not understanding how limiting data collection is draconian regulation.

      Recording in public is a huge problem overall and is slowly decaying our society. People don't do anything anymore because nothing is sacred. Have you been to a club lately? It's just a room of 500 people standing there.

      It gets worse the younger and younger the people are. Kids these days are too petrified to leave their homes. Every aspect of their person is under constant scrutiny.
