I could see numerous applications for the device in my own life. Would it make my life easier? In many ways yes. But, & there is always a but, do I really want all this information at my fingertips? Would it really just add more stress. It is certainly a very exciting concept. . I am left in no doubt that when this becomes commercially available it will be embraced in much the same way as other new technologies.
I am perhaps a little apprehensive about what this will do to our future. Will anybody really have any privacy? The stranger you meet today can, with this device, access a wealth of information about you in just a matter of seconds. It is true that whatever information they are accessing is available through the internet, but it is not so immediately accessible. Will we be judging those we meet by the information bought to us by this device & not by our own personal perceptions? What are the repercussions for us on a personal & a professional level?
Pattie made the use of the device look simple. It is easy to see that this technology will have many applications to us all in our everyday life. It will certainly change the way we function in our day to day lives both personally & professionally.
The question now is what is coming next?
Hi MArina,
ReplyDeleteI note your point about prejudgement... it unfortunately happens a lot in our profession, however I think people who are not prepared to surrender their own judgement on anothers' sayso will continue to independantly think for themselves besides having that information available and projected on someones T-shirt avoids those awkward social moments of silence and be will be great for those of us who have great facial recognition skills yet abysmal at name recall.
For what is coming next.... check out Star Trek

The devise will no doubt have many useful applications that will be advantages to many people in many walks of life. Like all new technology it will be put to good use by most and used by others to take advantage.
ReplyDeleteI suppose I could see some benefit to having all that information so easily accessible, but will it take away the very human trait of spontaneous curiosity & the sense of questioning & wondering? What effect will this have on our children & their imagination?
Yes and you wouldn't want to reverse the polarity on the device... your projector would end up being the mirror to your soul... instead of your eyes...or you would wear your feelings on your sleeve...or someone elses'T-shirt (depending on which direction you were looking at the time). LOL

Yes, I also believe this will change peoples way of life. It could also change teaching and learning, in many positive ways, however...
ReplyDeleteWill the human experience change however? Will people be interfacing with each other or the device?
