Not surprised at all. 

What will the implications be when we effectively have that power as a SOC and
that SOC is embedded everywhere.  That will be in the next 10 years to be sure. 

The problem I am seeing with all of this technology is that only one things
has really proven 100% true; that the Office of Total Information Awareness is
no longer a secretive government agency, but has become a fully distributed
service woven into the fabric of our lives. 

How can one expect to live outside the eye of technology ever again?  One
cannot.
