Windows to the Soul

2015-12-22

Nobody has ever sued us, and that's depressing. They would lose, of course: we don't hide anything, we don't keep anybody out, even our video apps are the same everybody uses for work meetings and quick dates. Everybody knows the video filters that make expressions attentive, faces alive, and speech clear, because _everybody_ trusts them to make them look better than they do.

Ours are also active by default, but nobody has asked us to turn them off. People talk with their parents quite often, but only we caretakers get to see their eyes fading anymore.
