because we don't already have enough
privacy issues in this era of big brother. |

Just don't talk to anyone wearing one of those bluetooth earpieces. Or pointing a camera in your face. Or talking quietly to themselves "this is the guy that ran away last time I pulled out my cell phone camera". |

Ooh - new feature. A computer voice translates comments to speech as they're posted. |
|
|
Currently tricky, but we should have this in a few years. |
|
|
Tricky yes, but I can imagine a way of doing this right now without the pictures. Just get two cell phones on a call-eachother-free plan. Call one from the other. Set one by your computer (perhaps hardwire in the speaker) and run transcription software. A little easy code should be able to upload this text to your blog. |

Or sign up to AudioBlogger if you don't care about the transcription-into-text bit. |

I can see how it might be somewhat appealing, but it sounds terrifically dull to me. |
|
|
But my life is _dull_! Dull dull dull. It's bad enough I have to go through it once, let alone inflict it on someone else. |

Unless the idea is to use this for evil... |

I can think of one context where this might conceivably be beneficial: lawbreakers could, as a punishment, have to live through every tedious minute of their victims lives for, say, a year. Not only would they get an idea of how their crime affected the person, but it would be a pretty effective punishment, too. |
