Though I do see mature AR tech as something which certainly will put people out of some jobs if they refuse to embrace it.
Tell me, if I'm dependent on this thing for my memory, then who am I? If I require the cloud to tell me someone's name, then do I really know them? Do I even...
Giving examples of how an individual will be assisted in current-day problems, such as remembering contacts (the pain!), is ignoring the forces pushing the individual as we currently know it to cease to exist.
You cannot go out in public without being recorded on video and haven't for years and years already. It's great that google glass is helping awareness of this issue, but I think it is not targeting the right things.
I don't consider an occasional (or even regular) satellite imaging and GMaps vans to be remotely as invasive as a random person walking down the street with their Glass recording me trying to keep my crying babies happy in the stroller.
I don't live in a big city though but I wake up and leave my apartment and already I'm being recorded through parking lot cameras. I drive passed the apartment office and that camera records me too. I reach the road and cops pass by all the time with their mounted cameras. I stop by <insert any business> and <do anything> and I'm recorded by their in house camera. I work 9ish hours a day and I am constantly on camera by various cameras throughout the office building. I go to class and the various 'campus cams' record me.
I could go on and on and on. Unless I'm in the woods somewhere in alabama or something I don't expect to get through a single day without at least 1/4 of it on camera.
Society is going to change in ways I can't imagine. We live in interesting times.
