Internet Incriminated

Ubiquitous smart devices are devices that are capable of connecting to the internet and communicating with other devices. These devices are becoming increasingly important because they allow people to stay connected and access information and services from anywhere. They also enable the development of new technologies and services, such as the internet of things (IoT) and smart homes.

However, there are also some pitfalls associated with ubiquitous smart devices. One of the main concerns is the issue of privacy and security. Because these devices are always connected to the internet, they can potentially be hacked and used to collect sensitive information about their users. Additionally, the constant stream of information and notifications from these devices can be overwhelming and lead to information overload. Finally, the increasing reliance on these devices can lead to a loss of personal autonomy and the ability to function without them.

Smart devices are fast becoming near ubiquitous, with wearable devices such as watches, earphones, eyeglasses, now able to capture and record data about the wearer.

Technology moves much faster than the application of law and people don’t know the extent to which such personal data can be shared by third parties or protected. With a general lack of standards and case law about such data, only judges are currently answering this question on a case-by-case basis.
