Abstract :
Over time, device control and transparency have continued to decrease. As users and consumers, we have a responsibility to think about how technology fits in our lives and what we want it to accomplish. We also have a responsibility to think about secondary effects, such as when and whether allowing our devices to monitor and track us is acceptable. These are important questions to ask at a time when enthusiasm for functionality can lead to a rush to market before the security and privacy implications are fully realized, assessed, and addressed.
