      ab: The authors offer opinions on ethical aspects of human-computer interaction. The development of wearable computers is said to have created a new form of interaction in which humans and the technology they employ become a single entity. It is forecast that the enormous amount of personal data generated by wearable computers will threaten the right of privacy as it will allow electronic surveillance to become ubiquitous.
