After getting the image of the celebration going on over at the NSA out of my mind, I can see this being very useful for the blind. Also for older folks who need reminding to take their meds, or for doctor appointments, etc. Perhaps the tech could get to the point it could be sort of a digital companion for the aged, maybe even dial 911 in an emergency. Perhaps a first step to much bigger things.
For me, the main appeal would be telling it what music to play, and giving me the weather report. But the privacy issue gives me pause.
