Still, we\u2019re sure there will be other uses for the lenses once app developers get their hands on them, some of which will be more than a bit creepy.<\/p>\n
Here are a few more upcoming scary gadgets.<\/p>\n

Personal drones<\/h3>\n
Image credit: Amazon<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Drones are quite a controversial subject, with many commentators debating the legality of their use in war zones and the slightly creepy way they can be used to spy on people.<\/p>\n At the moment, drone use is mainly limited to governments and big companies (such as Amazon\u2019s delivery drones). But, like all tech, the cost of a drone is bound to come down and we could soon all have our own personal flying robots.<\/p>\n This is a good and a bad thing. It\u2019s good because we could deliver stuff to friends miles away, meaning we wouldn’t have to pay for stamps. It\u2019s bad, however, because the sky will be filled with hundreds of annoying buzzing drones ALL THE TIME.<\/p>\n Image credit: Wikimedia<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n Anyone who sat in traffic on their way to work or school this morning will no doubt love the concept of a driverless car. You sit back while a computer drives you around \u201d\u201c perfect. You could even catch a few more z\u2019s!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s think about that for a moment though. Your car is being driven by a computer; you know, the things we curse on a daily basis for going slow, crashing and being generally unreliable. They\u2019re not exactly the characteristics we\u2019d be looking for in a chauffeur…<\/p>\n Google Glass is already here, although the only people who are using it at the moment are tech enthusiasts and developers. Soon, though, we\u2019ll all have a pair strapped to our head and that could signal chaos on our streets.<\/p>\n Think about the amount of times you\u2019ve bumped into someone walking down the street gazing into their phone. Now times it by 100. That\u2019s how bad Glass could potentially be. You won\u2019t be able to walk anywhere without walking into someone else who happens to be watching TV while they\u2019re shopping.<\/p>\n Now, this one is a bit tin-hat because the idea behind smart houses is really cool. The idea behind a smart house is that you can control it using either your voice or your phone; you can switch on lights, turn on the TV and so on.<\/p>\n But what if our houses become too<\/i> smart? What if they learn how to talk? The walls would be able to speak and be able to blurt out all the weird stuff you do behind closed doors to visitors. That\u2019s if it doesn\u2019t lock you in and force you to watch a 20-hour marathon of Loose Women<\/i> first…<\/p>\n Buzzfeed, the world\u2019s most addictive website, is launching a games division<\/a>, with the aim to make the kind of games that keep us glued to our phones. This combination of two of the world\u2019s most addictive pastimes will surely lead to the end of mankind, as everyone will be too engrossed in 22 Awesome Reasons This Game Will Take Over Your Life<\/i> to do anything else.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re sure everything will be just fine.
