I know which side I'd come down on, but I'm not sure our society would go in the direction I'd like to see.

*sparkle in eyes* Where can I meet a lady like you?
Sorry...
I'd have to agree with what you said: this will technology will be misused, not to mentioned abused to no end.

Mann envisions future generations walking down the street and seeing virtual, personalized messages on bus stops and building walls. A friend could log onto your glog to see where you were, then fire off a quick e-mail that only you would see on the park bench: "Turn around -- you went two blocks too far."

This here is excessively cool. What I'd want to do is to be able to program my own applications for this device. Hmm... too much to consider here. With a TI-89 graphing calculator you can store text notes that you can use to cheat on an exam, and the coolest part is that my university allows you to use TI-89's. I would imagine that people would try to use such technology to cheat on exams or misuse the technology in other ways.
I think I've said enough
