Alarming normalisation. Issues I see off the top of my head:

- Governments can now learn even more about you when they confiscate your device.

- Devices confiscated at airports provide a full history of you.

- Privacy issues: will my conversation with someone using this tech truly be private? Do I have to be careful what I say around everyone by default? Always have clear thought out opinions?

- Personal relations: spouses, friends, relatives demanding to see your history to check up on you and what you've been 'thinking'?

- Society where nothing can be assumed to be private by default

- Slippery slope to a future where you have always on location, cameras, mics for everyone with a mobile device. A complete reshaping of society. Therefore being unable to count on previous societal norms

Anyone got any other issues they can think of?
