Hi there. For those who need it, I designed this "No smart glasses allowed" icon, free to use, no attribution required, as public domain. The zip file contains the icon in multiple pixel and vector formats (png, jpg, eps, svg and PDF), both colour and b&w. If anyone needs it on any other format, feel free to ask.

Icon design for "Not smart glasses allowed" consisting on a standard forbidden signal (red clircle with diagonal red line) and the shape of smart glasses (with the cameras circles on the mount and wifi waves symbol) . The same icon is in black and white colour.

Gizmodo asks “Will We Ever Solve the Problem of Losing Data?”

I love this answer: “I know of one data storage form that can be permanent: a library. Or rather, a world full of libraries. Libraries aren’t perfect storage devices (nothing is), but they are fiercely committed to self-repair. A good library is a collection of people, technologies, and practices that pass an obligation—to remember the things we must remember—from the last generation to the next.”
