Software on/off switches are merely for the delusions that they fabricate in the mind of their victims.
Well, if people want to live their lives offline, that's their business. For myself, I don't care. Life's too short for paranoia and I have too many other things to do. I keep wifi off because I don't want my devices to automatically update, not because I particularly care who tracks me. So far keeping wifi off has kept the updates off too and that's enough for me.
