If it were possible, would you want photos of every moment of your life?
(I feel I should exclude soccer moms from this question, because they seem to take an awful lot of photos.) But for the rest of you — would you…really?
Well, this reality is just around the corner. UK-based firm Vicon has licensed technology for one such camera that you wear around your neck. It can be programmed to take photos as often as every 30 seconds in response to changes in your body temperature or the environment.
The original intent of the camera was to help Alzheimer patients look back on the events of their day, but now we can use it to bore our friends and family on Facebook with the day-to-day minutiae of our lives.
Imagine! Whereas before we could only share photos of those events where we remembered to whip out the ol’ digital camera, now the Vicon neck camera will be clicking along all day, every day. We can share even our most forgettable moments.
I know I’m looking forward to that.
And I’m guessing Facebook is going to have to start charging for photo upload — can you imagine the file space that will be required after the Vicon camera is made available in 2010?
We really need that ‘unlike’ button.
