5. Overall
The information that is stored and captured with the SenseCam could prove to be beneficial to everyone.
The information could also be used for malicious activities.
For the SenseCam to be used by people on a daily basis, there will need to be a tradeoff between personal privacy and the capturing and storing of information.
