I tend to agree. Not necessarily a defined plan but more a gradual erosion of privacy and freedom disguised as 'progress' which will ultimately play into the hands of criminals and those who'd rather like to be able to control/exploit the masses in one way or another, if only to preserve their own privileged status. The pace of technological change is such that's increasingly difficult to predict where all this will end up in terms of its uses (good and not so good) and wider effects on our society.
