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.
