I first saw what was coming in the societal sense back in the early 80's, when I taught computing (IBM Assembler & related) and realized that Moore's Law wouldn't stop with mainframes. People either laughed or thought I was delusional/insane/paranoid (choose one).
It's here, guys. 24/7 connectivity is now a requirement to live and work in the modern world, and nothing will stop those who want the power of knowing about you from finding a way to get it. The technological threshold of practicality has been crossed and there's no going back.
The best you can do is to be aware of the situation and act accordingly.
