So I'm in my pervasive computing class and we're talking about privacy and the awareness of a given device. We watched this video that gave rules and scenarios… And the main thing that stuck out at me was the polarity of privacy and device awareness. So, my question is, are privacy and device awareness directly bipolar? Like, can a device be aware of its surroundings and act super duper intelligence while at the same time respect my right to privacy? Who knows… I just think, with all these pervasive computing things… We should be like ants. Only so few simple rules make up the greater part of who we are. We are complex as a result of smaller, simpler building blocks. It just makes the world easier to comprehend by then.
