The intentions seem genuine, and the ideas are good for what you would want people to use it for, but what about people like me? Recording data on and around you especially without their consent is not something I'm okay with. I'm against Windows adding in their 'Recall' feature highly, I don't want somebody's computer taking screenshots and transcribing my encrypted chats on all of their computer usage, I sure as hell don't want to be around somebody who's too lazy to take notes or be present in the moment with their friends to solidify memories within themselves that they can just go back on and get transcripts of who and what was said as they traversed the day.

So again, what about people like me?

Sorry, but this is spyware in every sense of the definition. There's no argument against that there.

Something like this might work:

"Virtual Walls: Protecting Digital Privacy in Pervasive Environments"

fulfilling that request would make nearly all 'connected' devices untenable.

I absolutely agree with you , but from this point how does that actually happen? how do we shift away from minuscule connected devices that sense everything about the world around them when they come effortlessly cheap and absolutely invaluable?
