The State of Consumer Technology at the End of 2014

I'd rather not put epochs according to release of OSes or pocket gadgets. The state of consumers technology clearly lacks things like consumer drones - exploded in 2014 and forced the UK to adopt some new laws for example. It lacks statement of universal adoption of cloud computing. Apple uses Microsoft Azure cloud a lot, ironically. It lacks story of fundamental shift of attitude of consumers to personal data, with Health API in iOS Apple is aware of your every heartbeat and you seem ok with that.
