Black Mirror: The Digital Eye in a Dystopian World

Do you forgot where you have parked your vehicle in the large parking zone, Well no worries your Smart Glasses like Ray-Ban Meta can remember where you have parked your vehicle like the one in this video.

After watching the video you might be thinking. Whoa! how cool is this that i can make my brain obsolete. I don’t wanna remember this crazy shit’s anymore.

Yes, you said it right you don’t want to remember but what if a stranger approaches you and says, Whoa, you have studied in XYZ university where you have published an article about the A.I. Immortality and your name is Nidi.

Or something like hey your are an Software Engineer at Yavar and your name is Nidi we have met on the GDG event in Forge.

As a human being you would think well the information which the person says is correct may be we would have met him or the person knows me earlier and you might nod your head or give a smile which would be the starting point of your conversation with the stranger.

But you might forgot one thing in all these conversation about the Smart Glass which the stranger wears.

Clueless of what i am saying :) well welcome to Black Mirror. watch the below video

Ahh! No how come it is possible.

it’s time to take your brain from obsolete to active mode. Yes, your privacy goes off if things go to wrong hands, so tread carefully. With more AI Powered Smart Glasses that lands in the market, every interaction you have is potentially being recorded and analyzed, not just by you but also by the stranger who approaches you. This digital enhancement is a double-edged sword.

As you engage in conversation, the glasses flash information about you in real-time, making it seem as though the stranger possesses an uncanny memory. But in reality, he’s just tapping into the vast database that feeds off the world’s digital footprint. Your life, your interests, your whereabouts—everything is laid bare.

Imagine stepping into a hotel, and the waiter greets you by name, and serves your favourite dish which you have scrolled more in Instagram posts or stories. It feels nice, right? But what if you learned that every time you interacted with the social media, your preferences were being logged, analyzed, and sold to corporations that want to target you with hyper-personalized ads?

In this world, your identity becomes a commodity. People wear their glasses with pride, showcasing their social statuses by how much information they can access about others. You become a walking encyclopedia of digital personas, knowing everything about the people you meet—sometimes, even more than they know about themselves.

And what about those moments of vulnerability? In a crowded room, someone can instantly pull up every detail of your life, from your most embarrassing moments to your greatest achievements. The thrill of connection turns into a game of social chess, where everyone’s motives are under scrutiny, and no one is truly anonymous.

But the plot thickens. As you navigate through this web of connections, a question arises: What happens when the technology falls into the wrong hands? Hackers can manipulate the data, using it to blackmail individuals or alter memories, creating a world where reality is no longer trustworthy.

You start to realize the importance of those little moments of forgetfulness, the simplicity of not knowing everything about someone or having everything about you known. The digital eye, instead of being a tool of convenience, becomes a harbinger of your demise—eroding your identity, privacy, and humanity.

In this world, where every glance could reveal your secrets, the fight for privacy becomes paramount. Will you allow your life to be a curated feed for others, or will you carve out a space where you can be just yourself—flaws, memories, and all?

Atlast we can hear “I’m sorry for everything you have all been through.” on the Senate.

The end? Or just the beginning of a new chapter? Let’s watch it with glasses.
