The photos are uploaded to the cloud and can be accessed on demand with a smartphone app, making it easy to look up any moment in one\u2019s life. When the project to mass-produce these cameras first hit <em>Kickstarter<\/em>, I knew I had to have one, and with any luck mine will be arriving in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n<p>The prospect of having a complete photographic record of my life is compelling for many reasons. I have a terrible memory, especially for faces, so it will be interesting to see if this device can help. There are also moments in life that would be great to relive, but that one can\u2019t \u2013 or one doesn\u2019t know one should \u2013 be photographing. Narrative\u2019s Instagram feed has some good examples of these. But most importantly, I want to help hasten our inevitable sousveillance future.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Being monitored in everyday life has become inescapable. So, as David Brin points out in <em>The Transparent Society<\/em>, the question is not <em>whether<\/em> there should be pervasive monitoring, but who will have access to the data. Will it only be the powerful, who will use the information to control? Or will the rest of us also be able to watch back?<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, perhaps, we would all be left alone to live private lives under no one\u2019s gaze. Short of halting all technological progress, however, that ship has sailed. Mass surveillance is the inevitable result of smaller cameras and microphones, faster processors, and incredibly cheap storage. So if I can\u2019t change that reality, I want to be able to watch back as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerry Brito is a sousveillance fan and he thinks you should be too: The Narrative Clip is a digital camera about the size of a postage stamp that clips to one\u2019s breast pocket or shirt collar and takes a photo every thirty seconds of whatever one\u2019s seeing.
