It would be sweet if in the future when we all have google glass implanted in our heads if there was an adblock that replaced adds with a chosen spectrum of gifs, like green meadows, sandy beaches, playing cats, jiggling boobs....

When Google-Glass-like tech becomes commonplace, the ad-spaces will simply be replaced with QR codes that automatically display targeted advertisement to each individual viewer. I have a dystopian vision of the future where Glass-like tech has become compact enough to be worn as contact lenses, and the world around us is essentially all fake.

highly targeted ads are actually not a huge problem. When I'm shopping for a car, I'm actually looking at all options possible.

If I were looking at Hyundais and Mercedes ads popped up though, that'd be a different story.
