But should you have the right to be alerted to what’s in my brain? I.e., that I have great memory?
Or xray vision? (Or whatever wavelength vision I would need to see through clothes, but not through skin.)

I’d be very surprised if we don’t see ubiquitous life recording becoming a hobby for some people within the next ten years.

These recordings could be shared (probably just the parts that are interesting) as a form of blogging.

The kind of recording that I think we will see in the next ten years will be external – like a tiny camera and microphone on the rim of eyeglasses or something.

Later, I think this sort of recording will be integrated into the brain.

Total recall.

Obviously there will be huge privacy interests involved. Would a person who life records be welcome in your home? Not mine, at least not with the camera on. But how could you tell? Should you have the right to be alerted to the camera?
