As for the privacy aspect, I see they already have the ‘nuke from orbit’. Encryption everywhere might be desirable. [Personally, I have no privacy. The government literally knows me back to the womb, courtesy of FBI background checks, so why worry about corps?] Obviously we are reaching an ‘inflection point’ around the marriage of search, predictive and speech analysis on a phone/tablet, it now has a shot.

I wish them luck with this. Creep factor will be an issue with many older users but don’t be surprised if the ‘senior set’ take to it like a duck to water. They’ve surprised me many a time when I was teaching in their computer labs at senior complexes and their homes. [I'm in demand since I don't patronize them.] The Hip Users simply won’t care. Be interesting to see if Flash-Mob Dining & Drinks start happening courtesy of our our assistants especially if discounts could be tied in.

Just a few thoughts. [And no, I don't care who does this. It's time we started taking advantage of our augmented intelligences: tablets and phones.]

I know what you mean, but it could possibly come up with a few good ideas that you didn’t think of perhaps. Also I think the basic idea here is context, you still make the final decisions right.
