Defects in wearable equipment: Large data raises privacy concerns

This time last year, when Google Glass appeared, the world cheered. If you ask me what kind of digital products I want most. I will not hesitate to answer GOOGL Glass.

Wearable devices are never new products. Sony Walkman is the first popular wearable product, but also the longest-lived, most successful wearable products. For more than 20 years, people are keen to put Walkman in any place on their body, while listening to favorite music, while recording the dribs and drabs of life, as now social media, people are also willing to share with everyone around. Unfortunately, the glories that began in the 1979 have been mercilessly destroyed by the advent of 2001 of ipods. Together with the destruction, there are even attempts to destroy Walkman MP3 equipment.

Why would Walkman be destroyed? Why are other MP3 devices that attempt to destroy Walkman also be destroyed? If we think that the ipod is just a MP3 device, then we can't understand the more and more wearable devices that are being used. The success of the ipod is that Mr. Jobs first succeeded in defining the Internet eco-chain in the music retailing industry. When people can easily subscribe to the latest and most wonderful music via itunes, and when they conveniently sync their subscriptions to their ipods, Walkman is dying, and the MP3 device is still trying to revive through MP4. When musicians, distributors look angrily at MP3 and even MP4 steal their income, the ipod gives them a new life in a more wonderful way. The success of the ipod is given by the spirit of the Internet.

The resurgence of wearable devices is by no means the development of past models, and the Internet is a new subversion of traditional models. It is because when the mobile phone is successfully turned into a new mobile computer, when the Internet in the room has been successfully extended to people around, there is an urgent and enthusiastic impetus to use the Internet to redefine everything around. Google's Glass has been a big concern because Google is an internet company that understands the spirit of the Internet more than any traditional company. The spirit of the internet lies in openness, sharing, equality and cooperation. Google has so far not released, has been an open mind to fully cooperate with developers. Google Glass's Android operating system, real-time online, Google Maps, Google search, real-time sharing and so on all kinds of functions, all contain the gene of the internet and powerful ecological chain. There is no doubt that everyone's enthusiasm for wearable equipment is high. In addition to Google Glass, Nike, Pebble, Jawbone up, and so on, are trying. We don't know which products end up laughing, but the only thing we're sure of is the best understanding of the spirit of the Internet is the most likely to succeed.

The big data emerging on the Internet will revolutionize the wearable devices. Jobs used the Internet's thinking and eco-chain to redefine the meaning of the Internet era's products. The big Data age treats everyone as the creator of data, and more profoundly defines the spirit of the Internet. This means that all products associated with it will change. Wearable devices are turning everyone into more direct data creators. All wearable devices that are invented in the future, or now, cannot just be the derivative of a PC or smartphone. A profound understanding of the changes in large data can be made to meet the needs of the Times products.

It is important to ignore the ethical issue of wearable equipment in the age of large data. If you have seen the third episode of the first quarter of the Black Mirror, you will discover the ethical issues of Google Glass. In the future, everyone is implanted with built-in chips, and memory images can be searched at any time. It is through memory that the paranoid husband searches for evidence of his wife's infidelity, which leads to family destruction. Google Glass has not yet released, and abroad has released a slot comics, from a warm welcome to everyone to reject Google Glass wearer. We are both big data creators and people controlled by big data. As the internet continues to deepen, we cannot refuse to use wearable devices for data collection and utilization. When wearable devices collect health data from everyone and tell us which fitness methods are best, we lose our autonomy in our own health.

I hope that the future of wearable equipment in addition to the spirit of the Internet, can not be ignored is the need for their own security. American President Roosevelt said, "There are four kinds of freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of belief, freedom from want, free from fear." Wearable equipment for the use of large data, can cause people "freedom from fear" of destruction. Because wearable devices are quick and comprehensive for people to collect data, it will be more aware of you than you are in the future, and people will be deeply afraid and uneasy about it. This is also the fatal flaw that wearable equipment has to solve, and it can even stifle its future. Please keep in mind that people who refuse wearable devices are not because of functional problems, but because of ethical issues.
