Priveillance

Defintion

Priveillance is a term developed by wearable computing pioneer Steve Mann to describe a society in which everyone has a means of recording everyone. Priveillance comes from the French word veillance, which means to watch. "If you and I were to meet in a coffee shop and you had an audio recorder in your pocket, what’s the difference than if you had a photographic memory and could remember the entire conversation? But, if there were a third party that were eavesdropping on us, that would be more of a violation."
