Eventually someone will realise that it'd also be great for telling you where you left your keys, if it'd film everything you see instead of just your screen.
I simply am not going to have my entire life filmed by an form of technology, I don't care what the advantages are. There's a limit to the level of dystopian dependent uses of these technologies I'm going to put up with. I sincerely hope the majority of the human race feels the same way.
This is not how most people think. If it's convenient and has useful features, it will spread. Soon enough it will be expected that you use it, just like it's expected today to have a smartphone and install apps to participate in events, or to use zoom etc.
By the way, Meta is already working to realize such a device. Like Alexa on steroids, but it also sees what you see and remembers it all. It's not speculation, it is being built.
People already fill their homes with nanny cams. Very soon someone will hook those up to LLMs so you can ask it what happened at home while you were gone.
Also, just in case someone thinks this is an exaggeration, Meta is actively working to realize this with the Aria glasses. They just released another large dataset with such daily activities.
Privacy concerns will not stop it, just like it didn't stop social media (and other) tracking. People have been taught the mantra that "if you have nothing to hide, ...", and everyone accepts it.
True but that's still a bit further away. The screen contents (when mostly working with text) is a much better constrained and cleaner environment compared to camera feeds from real life. And most of the fleeting info we tend to forget appears on screens anyway.
