I do not know about you, but this scares me.

Google has applied for a contact lens camera patent. Nobody is now safe nor is there any privacy left. Very serious business.

If you are the kind of person who gets really pissed off and uncomfortable  at the thought of somebody recording you on Google Glass, the search engine company's latest patent application will probably make you feel even more pessimistic about the future. In January Google announced its smart contact lens project and now has filed a patent application for a micro camera module to be added to with the smart lenses.  
We are seriously screwed. This is a departure from this post's avoidance of any political or ideological stances, other than in  the photographic ambit. of course,  but this is very serious as it will totally violate any residual privacy that is left. Not good news.
