Lara Hodgson- Reflection on Guest speaker

Reflection on Guest Speaker
I thought that the guest speaker was interesting. I think that we are not far from the advanced technology that he was speaking about. I was wondering about the privacy though. If we are able to have these devices that transform reality and the virtual reality together and are able to have a list of information that is connected to each individual, would that be an invasion of privacy? I think they are viewing the device more of a video game to run around town trying to fight other individuals but as a device to know or remember knowledge of individuals may be a bit much.
Privacy is an important issue, I don’t know if maybe I misunderstood the device but from what I remember he said that you are able to pull up information o individuals to find out what type of person they are. There demographics would be displayed along with personal information. Even if you are able to add the information to the person, things are constantly changing with each person. This would be take personal interaction away and combine interaction with technology. I think the device would be a fun technology gadget but I don’t think it should be used for every interaction. I think the device would be great for a recreational use.
Overall I think the guest speaker was great and I would have been interested to hear more of how the device is used and about how far down the line does he think the device would be introduced to society. Also, how the device works and when would it be used. Is the device just for holding personal information about people you know? It seems more of a memory holder. Does the device hook up to the internet as well? Would this device be replacing PC’s and computers?
