It’s official: our narcissism is boundless

We live in an age of self documentation. We serve as our own press corps. We are our own press agents.

Selfies, these are photos we take of ourselves and our friends. It’s how we construct a public persona.

And now this.

This is a camera called Hover. It’s is designed to follow us everywhere. Whatever we’re doing, it just keeps on filming. Using face recognition, the Hover can follow us while we are cycling, running and strolling.

So it’s official. Our vanity is now boundless. Our narcissism inexhaustible. Finally, we have our own Paparazzi. Please, we someone pray for us.
