Of course there are a gazillion ways this kind of thing will go wrong. I'm more interested in the general phenomenon of smart devices identifying us automatically and without our knowledge.

Sony's Robotic Dogs Are Dying A Slow And Heartbreaking Death - 0 views

"Back in 1999, Sony released a robotic dog called Aibo, a canine companion that didn't crap everywhere and only ate electricity. It sold pretty well - 150,000 units, despite the $2,000 price tag. Some owners became remarkably attached, which makes it even more sad that Sony has stopped repairing Aibo. Slowly but surely, they're all dying. The New York Times has recorded the plight of current-day Aibo owners in a completely heartbreaking video. They interviewed a series of owners, whose Aibos are a central part of their lives, but are slowly having to come to the fact that their dogs have a life expectancy. "
