Personal space and boundaries are now only concepts people easily ignore.
Broadcasting strangers on social media has become such an everyday occurrence no one seems to remember the individual has a right to privacy.
Pervert glasses and surveillance technology will continue to bring the worst of humanity to the surface at the expense of individual safety, privacy, and freedom.
I'm not sure where you live, but where I live, there is no such thing as a right to privacy.
I think there should be, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. So many people are willingly give up anything that resembled privacy for a little convenience and novelty.
If you're using any google or apple product, you're part of the problem. Smartwatch, yes that too. Social media, take everything.
Until people actually start paying attention and actively refusing to take the bait on these modern conveniences (it just works!!!) this will just get worse.
