Living in an Age Where Being Watched Is the Default.
from *“Yesterday, I Went to Mars ♡”* · host MakotowillOlympusMons
In this episode, we reflect on how everyday technology is changing our sense of privacy. Devices like smart glasses with built-in cameras are making it easier than ever to record and share what we see, often from a first-person point of view. While this can create new kinds of content online, it also raises questions about people who may appear in videos without realizing it.The conversation also looks at how these tools are evolving, including future possibilities like facial recognition features and the kinds of countermeasures people are beginning to develop in response. At the same time, laws and social norms are still trying to catch up with the pace of technological change.Rather than taking a strong position, the episode simply explores a growing reality: we may be entering a time when being seen or recorded in public spaces is increasingly common, and society is still figuring out how to adapt.
