Yeah, I get that... Folks get all verklempt over new shiny, jangly, bouncy bits...
And I get that us geeks gotta have that Star Trek thing going on... I mean, how cool is it to walk into the house and say, "Hello Computer," and have the computer respond by saying, "Hello, roamer"... and instantly the heat and lighting adjust to your preference, a cold beer pops out of the top of the end table, and the big screen comes on... Showing your preferred news or show...
"Computer, do a search in the background for the best place to buy new T-shirts, and get a pizza coming from Ginos... And did you confirm that my dry cleaning is ready?"
Yeah, I get it... But inevitably, that whole cool thing starts with a loss of privacy- And then it isn't so cool anymore... I don't want it, nor need it.
My problem is, that as a tech, I almost have to use it, just so I know how to fix it when it poops the bed - At the moment I am not, as I don't have anyone on 10 using it - but I fear it is inevitable, and that 'cool factor' will drive it into ubiquity.
Try telling some joe-user (or worse, Jane) that their privacy would be much improved if their computer was *not* 'getting to know' them... Are they willing to shut off their happy new toy?
Just wait till all that meta-data hits the spammers and scammers. What a mess that will be.... by a couple orders of magnitude...
