We are all paparazzi now

According to ZDNet Blog, Kate Moss was caught by a camera phone - How did I miss that? - apparently using an illicit drug, because of which she lost several large endorsement contracts. She subsequently checked into rehab where, presumably, camera phones are not allowed.

So what?

"We are all paparazzi now…and we are all stars. The popularity of camera phones in some markets means that any important event (a car accident, a mugging, a wardrobe malfunction, etc.) is increasingly likely to be documented by ordinary people. As phones become more sophisticated, video (rather than still) recordings will become the norm."

Accenture Technology Labs has some thinking around the implications of ubiquitous cameras. Check it out here.
