Way to much for me

After reading the article "Digital memories" and having a video camera and body sensor strapped on you to record your memories, is way to much for me. Whatever happened to the old Polaroid cameras? or the flash bulb cameras? Why do we need to have a video recorder hat with a sensor to my arm just to record my memories and daily actions. No thanks, ill just stick to the old wind-up, hold the button to charge the flash cameras, and get them developed at the local store. I don't need a camera strapped to my head, and I certainly don't need some device to tell me I'm getting sick when I can just tell I'm getting sick. Next thing you know we will have something to tell you the next time we need to go to the bathroom. Its way over the top for me and I feel if i saw some one with that on there head, I would think about privacy issues because there recording you and not taking pictures, a totally different scenario. I think its way over the top and does not need to be purchased. I would rather keep using my digital camera for my memories, or even my cell phone.
I remember when the first time there were cell phones with cameras on them and I thought to my self, that's stupid, what else will they come out with next. But a little while later, i got a new cell phone with a camera in it. Its great because you can take pictures of friends or something funny, then send it to your friends and share it. I receive pictures from my brothers all the time, and I also take and receive videos as well. Now shopping for a new phone having a camera on it is a must. If there is no camera on it, then I'm not buying it. its great because if you don't have your camera you can use your phone to capture the perfect picture, because 9 out of 10 times you have your cell phone with you.
We are relying too much on technology now a days, its gunna turn around and haunt us. I feel this is over doing the topic of memories. We don't need it. The new cameras can fit in your pocket and can hold enough memories to last a long time. And when you memory is full you can upload them to your computer and share them on the web, as well as a video recorder. I know you have to deal with disk's and tapes, but you can label them and keep them in a safe place. But i feel we should stop counting on technology because someday it may just fail. Were if you have the old photo pictures, you have the memories in frames and right in your hands. That's how I am, I would rather have the pictures in front of me to hold, then to watch, Just like a newspaper, I would rather read in front of me rather then on the web. But hey, you never know.
But to have a camera strapped to your head, is way to much for me. I don't like it and I will never waste my money on it, but never say never.
