“…wearable technology to enable shooting around corners”
A ten dollar analog video camera from the 1990s, wired to analog video goggles, will do that too. So will the optical periscope used in W.W. I, though that one is a bit more bulky.
As I was saying to the guy behind the counter at the gas station the other day while their digital connections were down and I had to pay for my gasoline with cash (remember cash?); “This technology is really great, but if we rely on it totally we’re fucked.” I then reminded my daughter, who was riding with me, that one should always carry some cash.
While you’re horsing around with your super-duper, integrated, networked, mass communication, remote viewing technology (assuming all the power supplies are working and there isn’t undue RF interference) someone can probably walk right up and stab you, but at least your demise can now be documented from six different points of view, and a network audio channel, simultaneously, so there’s that.

It is this type of “smart” gun that every gun owner should be required to have.

When I read the post title, I thought someone had shot a ‘glasshole’.
