That's really interesting. There's just something very discomforting about being watched by strangers with recording devices. People can watch us just with their eyes, and we might not give it much thought, but if they're recording it we get antsy, even if we aren't doing anything we would be embarrassed about or really need kept private. We all feel it. What's up with that?

I think it's because we never know what they're going to do with it after they have recorded it. I normally wouldn't care much if they were only photographing me, but my wife and my daughter… That's another story.
