Internet brain implant on the way

This objection is a Nonissue.

If this Technology theory becomes the mainstream, and i truly hope that it does. I find it far more useful than a contact lens monitor. Then the change in media interface will alter the way we have to think about the internet. As Far as your suggestion of making it so that each user has control over their own content, you probably know thats impossible, but it is also the wrong direction of thinking. Trying to preserve personal privacy in 2010 is already like trying to swim up stream, in rapids, wearing a full snow suit, while dragging a whale, who is swimming the opposite direction. Your privacy is gone, so have a ceremony and make peace with this fact, because it a horrible waste of time to try and keep it alive. Anyone can say anything about you already, but its not a Huge problem. I propose that the reason its not too bad of a problem now, and thus how to solve this for the future, is simply expansiveness. some guy walking down the street in Chicago will have nothing to display about me, because i'm not in his social circle. but a friend in my home town will have everything about me displayed and probably that funny picture of when i passed out too early at the party. But i'm fine with that. He is in my circle. As for public forums, well here is the thing, if your a huge Racist and don't want that to be knowledge to everyone, then your ashamed, which is to say, you already know your opinion is wrong, perhaps you should change. When i was growing up a "political correctness" was becoming the thing, and everyone was mad because they had to be nice. But i see the evolution in my thought process, i think to my self "why would i use a racial slur, i don't want to insult someone for something they can't control about themselves" and since i don't have the prejudice, it's not a problem. the kids growing up this decade are the next evolution of my mind set, Political Correctness is simply fact. When the internet, all of the data, facts, opinions, images, videos are simply part of everyday interaction with the world around us. Then each person is emersed with the ultimate cultural melting pot of cultures, and at the same time their idenity is open to the people in their circle. and anyone who really wants to take the time to hunt you down.
The point i was trying to make was that trying to preserve personal privacy as we know it, is futile. Thus we must reinvent the way we think about our privacy. People in their 20s like myself and everyone younger are already making the first step in this evolution. our outward Persona is now far more intricate than it once was. people used to make first impressions based on your posture, voice, clothing etc. Now we add in out profile color, our font type, our theme music, our favorite activites, music movies. What i hope that shows is that everyone now has more control over what other people think of them then ever before. personal choices are now part of the first impression, personality is now part of the snap jugements made about you.

But here is the truly creepy part about a "sixth sense" future world. Each and every person is walking around with a live webcam using mobile internet. constant annoying Tweets.... ha we will long for those days back. Every time you go into public or see a mirror your being recorded to a live feed on the internet. your every interaction with everything and everyone is being added to the internet as more data. The virtual map of the earth... in real time. It's a big brother movement from the ground up. "Little Brother" if you will. but hey if your wondering if the bar is hopping, all you have to do is type it in and see for yourself in real time. Also i would have to assume the constant video streams would be put together in a program similar to photosynth, where all the different streams related to your search are blended together to give an entirely three dimensional real time video. The Utility of this technology is just mind boggling. People have to just give up fighting to be anonymous. Those days are gone. Here is where my political bit comes in. In the USA we make our own laws. If the majority of people think speed limit +5 is ok, then we can change the limits and start following the rules again. If people can agree that its not the government's job to protect people from themselves, then we can ditch alot of laws, that people feel no shame in breaking. and here is a nifty idea i stole from American Idol. the jury is not 12, but every person who wants to vote. We get to watch the whole event, and hear the people's justification first hand. Then we vote. oh then here is another cool idea, there is a bill coming up in congress, my congressmen gets a survey of how his or her people want that vote to go. Everyone that wants to get closer how this country is run gets it. and representatives can start representing their people instead of this dumb party line voting stuff.

Well, the obvious solution would be to not upload sensitive info online, that you don't want the world to know. Hopefully it will be optional for an individual to have his info available to this "6th sense". If not, I hope it would then force people to think before senselessly sharing personal info. I'm a firm believer that there is no true privacy on the internet, and we should behave as such.
