Blogger IridiumEagle predicts that within three years, the combination of smart glasses and facial recognition will make everyone effectively 'famous': any stranger will be able to identify you in public, pull up your identity and social accounts on the spot.
The upshot is the end of anonymity in public space — ordinary people will live under the same permanent visibility that celebrities face, with privacy and social-norm consequences the public has barely begun to reckon with.
