Um artigo de Justin Hall, no qual reflecte sobre as consequências sociais da utilização massiva dos telemóveis com câmara de fotogravar/ filmar. *****

TheFeature :: The Onset of Connected Cameras: "Mobile phones in Japan have taken photos since 2000; in the last few months they've reached digital camera quality. It's annoying to be overwhelmed or interrupted by a mobile phone conversation; it's paranoia-inducing to imagine that anywhere you go anyone around you might be taking your picture and sending it around the world.

These Internet connected cameras will generate a new and complex series of social mores, regulations and technological strictures, as we struggle to adapt to a society where citizens have the power of recording and surveillance held previously only by groups and institutions."
