MC2 Post 1711 Wingman-- Why the Narrative Clip is such a Bad Idea

First: It's a little plastic square with an embedded camera that takes a picture every 30 seconds.

Gee, What could be Wrong with That?

That's 120 pictures every hour of every day -- Forever.

The little square plastic that can clip on your vest pocket or necktie doesn't
flash that it just took a picture like smart phone cameras can and doesn't say "Click" either.

That would be annoying. And also warn people in front of your pocket or tie that you just took a picture.

Like the Google Glass picture taking capability, there should be privacy issues with this silent snapper too.

Especially since it shoots those pictures to a "cloud" storage and then can route the pictures to a site or sites of your choosing. Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and dozens of others.

Yeah, that should be interesting.

Don't we have enough clutter on the web already?

Issue: Picture quality.

Unless you're "constantly" positioning your body discretely to where the "action" is, a child with a toy camera will surely take better composed pictures than this gizmo can.

My tie and vest pocket have traditionally been bad composers of nicely framed pictures.
