SUNGLASSES

I was wearing a new pair of sunglasses. State of the art and updated by the Techies. As long as you stayed focusse, it only recorded. When you relaxed, all kinds of data appeared: the weather, GPS-location, persons in the vicinity (150 meters radius, to be enlarged when necessary), maps and other information. It had facial recognition and due to nanotechnology the glasses were paperthin. It could be folded anyway you wanted and stored away.

Old news, you may think. No, these glasses were sensational. If some-one had activated a mobile phone, and if he or she was close enough, my glasses made acces, even into their mailbox. The total residu of its activities was summarised for later use.

“Alien technology”, the Techies had said. “Recently acquired.”

And they were fancy as well. They remind of the glasses the “Blues Brothers” wore.
