    It’s not going to burst, it’s an incredible marketing opportunity that will invade our privacy until and unless we make it illegal. Every screen, camera, vehicle, tool will call home and report everything about you so that the company that sold you the item can make a buck.

      Unless they can show an obvious advantage people aren’t going to pay more to be spied on.

      The reason that smartphones became so ubiquitous was because they were useful products that actually had capabilities that were attractive to the general public it was only afterwards that they started to be used for spying. It doesn’t work the other way around you can’t make a spy product and expect people to buy it.
