End of Privacy

In 2013, consumers will spend more time cleaning house, assuming that whatever they have posted on social media, what they consume and where they go will be public info — unless they actively seek to keep it out of the digital domain.

Not only can your own hardware not see where you are or what you’re doing, but third-party sensors are rendered unable to see you as well.
