You mean the free aspects? And the most unrealistic part of that article?

Nothing gon be free here. And no one wants strangers molesting their shit when they're gone to work.

I think our concept of privacy will change with it. "Privacy" may come to mean something different than we recognize it now, perhaps we will consider it a less invasive form of full connectedness, etc. I don't believe it's fully definable because we don't know what the status quo will be in 10+ years!
I'm also assuming places that full privacy will be allowed to the rich, via "retreats" and maybe "disconnected" living spaces in high rises or something. It will soon be cheap and accessible enough to basically have the internet of everything, and everything will be connected, down to fruit you buy. Guaranteed, there will be some sort of division within the concept of privacy, where those who cannot afford it will get fucked.

How long do you think the concept of a rich person will last? We've had them nearly the entire time here.

Haha, I don’t think that will ever go away, we’ve always had a ruling class.

I wouldn't be surprised if things went the other way, and future generations will see the constant exposure we have today as a horrible, maladaptive mistake.

That's realistic—there's usually a pendulum kind of effect to social movements. If there's money to be made in privacy there will always be that option I guess. Apple keeps your shit pretty private for the most part, but you pay $$$. The one thing that's good is how much cheaper and more accessible services will be for everyone. The floor keeps going down on those things.
