Do we have privacy in public space?

You wake up.  You reach for your Google Glass.  Although you weren't used to wearing glasses, now you cannot imagine a day without your glasses.  Thanks to new Google Glass application called Daily Journal Recorder you can always rely on your augmented reality glasses to take continuous videos of your entire day and store key moments as a daily highlight.  It's like having your personal journal written for you while you live your life.

What about privacy?  Most people have accepted the fact that they are getting recorded all the time in any public space.  Privacy only exists in your home, and even then your location can be tracked thanks to GPS embedded on all devices starting with your mobile phone to your car key.  People no longer rely on their memory to remember whom they need to meet and what they need to do.  Personal scheduler running in the cloud reminds your next task through your wearable devices.

If you are not on the network, you don't have anyone to interact with.  Your identity is no longer about your physical self.  Without terabytes of data in the cloud your identity is incomplete because all your memory and profile are stored out in the cloud.  Without them, people won't be able to tell whether it's real you...
