Crimecam made me laugh, hehe. The uses are potentially endless:

5) Procrastination monitor: Someone is actively monitoring you, making sure that you do what you're supposed to do. Actually, this would be even creepier if it were your corporate control-freak boss who ordained it.

6) Voyeurist's refuge: Pay someone with social skills far more developed than yours, have him go out and pick up a woman while you sit back in our couch and watch the spectacle unfold. Not sure how many would consent to a partner wearing glasses while having sex, though.

Actually, the more I think about this the creepier the potential scenarios seem to be. And let's not get started on how unfortunate it would be if your pair got struck with a case of malware. But the techie inside me still thinks it's way cool.

Given the high amount of live sex available over cam right now, I think the voyeur idea is almost certainly going to happen.

It seems as more and more communication happens through channels available to all, and communication is no longer restricted to a few powerful channels (the media, the state, the church), we are starting to become more and more aware of the huge chasm that has always existed between what has been projected by society as "the norm" and people's actual willingness to act with a large deviation from the norm.

The malware in your personal brain extender scenario is pretty juicy. Hope some people write some crazy sci fi stories with that idea.

As awful as a lot of that movie was, it actually went to some interesting places with that technology.

pornstars

I'm guessing a lot of guys would be delighted about hiring a female pornstar to try and seduce a woman they have a thing for.
