And then the government will demand to implant one of these in the eyes of anyone who is even remotely suspected of being a terrorist.
And then the warrantless wiretaps, so to speak...
NO cheers, unfortunately.
Yep. Pornstars will become the biggest celebs in the world.

LOL. There won't be anyone without these things once they hit the market. In 1998 almost nobody had mobile phones. Now, in less than ten years, almost everybody has a mobile phone. People want to be connected. The mind wants to be connected. You can say what you want but you are going out of your way to connect to me (and god knows who else) right now. You are plugged into a global network, you can be traced, the things you write here can be used by some other entity.
It's already that way. There will always be negatives to everything.
Why not this alternative: Rather than the government calling the shots- why wouldn't WE the People demand that all government officials have their devices turned to 'transmit to all' all the time? That way WE could keep track of what THEY do? I'd quite like that actually.
Something else to think about- this is probably a natural 'next step' for humanity. No getting around it. But, who says governments and nation states are going to be with us forever? I don't think they (nation/states & governments as we currently understand them) will last.
