NameTag: Facial recognition app criticized as creepy and invasive

 

This is either a stalker's delight or a foreshadowing of the death of social chit-chat.

 

I run your picture through this, find out all there is to know. You do the same. So all the prelim bs (how are you, what do you do, where do you like to vacation) is taken care of. All that's left is "Your place or mine?" or two people walking off in opposite directions.

 

Or something like that.

...or both. This will probably cause some concern.

 

However, there does seem to be a growing awareness - in younger folks, at least - that the only way to keep information private is to not put it their in the first place, or make sure it's not persistent. If you're 16, Facebook is just a way to keep in touch with your elderly relatives (like most of us reading this :) ). Things like Snapchat are far more relevant, because you can be sure that crotch-shot you just sexted someone with isn't going any further.

 

At least, it wasn't until recently....
