Will Smartphones and Face Recognition Destroy Anonymity?

http://chris.pirillo.com/are-smartphones-and-social-networks-killing-privacy/ Fraser Cain from Universe Today emailed in the question, "Will smartphones and face recognition destroy anonymity? Now that pretty much everyone has a smartphone, and face recognition is pretty good, and everyone has put photos of themselves on the Internet, are we about to have a complete loss of public anonymity?"

There is a delicate balance that must be maintained. For every reason systems like these may be useful, there is a counter-argument against any stripping of anonymity.
