That's my point exactly: aside from the fact that the future is scary to some people, and the usefulness of the devices, what's the difference between these two concepts? Yeah, it might all seem like science fiction nonsense and dystopian fiction now, but so did a lot of things, before we went ahead and made them anyway, and they became a part of the fabric of our lives.
It's just the cycle of technology, for some people: first they fear it, then they normalize it, then they cry foul when it's gone. And yet nobody ever learns that lesson when the next cool gadget comes along.
