Augmented Reality. There is no way back.

Congratulations to all the humankind! Finally, we are marking a new epoch when the reality can be transshaped in accordance with our needs, whether they are related to entertainment, tourism, education, or even military-industrial complex we know very little about. Today we have got a variety of Augmented Reality Technologies from primitive and harmless Wikitude application to Cognitive Technology Threat Warning System, or so-called 'cybernetic hive-mind' developed by the United States Department of Defense agency DARPA. 

Though the most part of smartphone users are still discovering recently appeared Augmented Reality facilities, the wheels of progress never stop turning. And it is very likely that the world of extended high-tech AR system is going to occur in the nearest future. And having an appropriate device will make you able to join the system. From the one hand, it cannot be bad. Thus we will be able to get access to any information through "slide to unlock".  But from the other hand, there are small issues your sincere friend Paranoid Johnny is very concerned about. 

Firstly, data protection an information safety. How secure is your personal information? Let's remember September 2012 when a group of hackers published online 1 million Apple user IDs previously swiped from an FBI computer. With appearance of global AR system cyberterrorism is definitely expected to take a new breath. Especially, taking into an account the feature of the system to locate a subject very accurately in 3D dimension.

Making your life easier. Enjoy the future.

Secondly, probable commercialization of this sphere in case the latter succeeds. We can observe this process with Apple products within recent years. 

Speaking only about usage of AG Technologies in civil life we have got a number of pros and cons. Thus, we should be aware of all the consequences the development of Augmented Reality Technologies can cause and take them as serious as possible.
