Both are dead in the sense of inevitability. How much longer do you expect the IR LED trick to work?

Why should I worry about losing my privacy? Certainly there are secrets I need to keep, like my bank account details, but those are of a different nature. I won't be surprised if in a couple of decades, anyone on the planet will be able to find out everything I've done all day, complete with high-definition movies of it happening if they want. And, to be honest, I'm quite ok with that.



At the same time, it'll be trivial to fake high res movies of you doing anything - "photoshop" for movies mapping your physical form onto others etc

Wow you robbed a bank today? Nah it was a 'shopped movie.

I think that lessens the need for privacy even more...
