Yeah, everything I can predict this would be used for would be a trifle or a data dig. All of these innovations are neat, but as long as the data barron's are controlling our devices we just won't have any net benefit for us. I really want one of these struggling phone companies to say "fuck it" and provide a competing service for people like me where my data isn't shared or stored remotely. Where I control my own server from my own home. And where everything is easy enough for me to set up and maintain. I doubt it will happen. The data economy and escaping from the data economy will be the overbearing reality and fight of my lifetime.
