I don’t think I will rush out to buy one, if only for fear of the kinds of situations such a watch could put me in. How would I keep myself from trying to watch wrist-videos while walking to work? And if I went to check the time mid-conversation, how would I resist the urge to catch up on my favorite show?

But for those of you who can imagine nothing better than having video available at a turn of your wrist, this is most certainly the gadget for you!

Advertising Age published an article yesterday on the video documentation of the rat problem entitled, “Taco Hell: Rodent Video Signals New Era in PR Crises”. The article critiques Yum Brands for perceiving-and therefore portraying-the highly publicized rodent problem as containable and local. Such a miscalculation meant that Yum Brands got caught trying to fight the wild-fire, negative publicity with antiquated speed and technique. Yum Brands’ statement–posted on their home page after the news footage had already begun circulating the web–could not undo the horrible images that the rapid sharing of the video online had planted in consumers’ minds.

Today it may be harder–if not impossible–to escape exposure once the footage hits the internet. Whether you are the hysterical, hair-cutting bride of YouTube fame or Yum Brands trying to fight the association of rats with your restaurants, that users can upload, search for and share videos of your worst moments is a concern uniquely connected to new technology. Everybody and anybody can end up on YouTube; the new challenge may be for individuals and organizations to deal with the exposure of their less than shining moments.

Was it an overzealous fan of our favorite hometown speech-to-text search engine or a deviant with a penchant for automobile accessories?
