I've thrown my phone into the Grand Canyon. I've also gone months without a wireless phone turned on. Good for the brain.

I'm sorry but I already have an uncomfortable relationship with my phone uploading massive amounts of data to other companies. Why the absolute freak would I want to dump more of my personal life (an always on camera, and mic) into an even less diverse set of hands (a single company)?

Not only that it wouldn't be a sea of hard to parse through data it'd be (by design) uploaded to an assistant that you can just ask questions to.

Police officer: - where is his next meeting? - is he currently armed? - has he been sleeping well? - did he take his pills today? - when does he usually go to his car?

No research needed. Just access.
