About: [W]e can connect the episode to the rise of "dashcams": small cameras mounted on the dashboards of cars to record the behavior of pedestrians and other motorists in case of accidents. In several countries, the use of such dashcams can already be required by insurance companies, at least to obtain a discount. It seems a plausible scenario that such practices might expand beyond car insurance and police forces, aggregating dashcams with lifelogging to create a situation in which citizens, under cover of security and legal protection, become expected to record and store their daily experience.       Sponge   NotDistinct   Permalink
