> The problem is with a big trend in society that we want to be listened to and watched, because it makes life more convenient on a personal level.

I would argue that it isn't convenience that attracts people, its narcissism. Society has been surrendering their privacy for years with Facebook. We are comfortable with it. We have seen a direct connection between sharing more (location, pictures, videos, etc) and getting more (food, taxi rides, sex)

So of course the next frontier is not having to share anything at all. The next frontier is listening and deciding. Its concierge services that bring you an array of options, specifically tailored to you. You are the center of their world, so as long as you keep making purchases and supplying them with information to better serve you.
