At first I thought this sounded like a pretty good idea and I was impressed with the ever amazing technology we keep developing, but then again, it's kind of annoying. Does anyone else think this is a breech of our privacy? It's like the Patriot Act but on a much smaller scale. On a scale of one to ten, how important is this really to our society? Like are we really in dire need to see how many people view a specific area of an airport or a store? Seriously, it's ridiculous that we are spending time and money developing something so stupid. Wouldn't it be more beneficial, cheaper, and accurate to just hire people to observe different areas of a store, airport, etc? In all honesty, how many people just walk around a store or area in the airport, simply because they are bored or trying to waste time before a flight?
Yes, it's great that they are at least keeping it anonymous, but who knows how long it will stay like that. Or hell, they may just be advertising that. I don't know, to me personally, this idea just sounds ridiculous and another way for us to be monitored.
