So on one hand we're carrying around little location-aware sensors that upload all kinds of tracking data to who-knows-where, enabling unprecedented tracking of human beings and their movements at incredibly high resolution. We also voluntarily post so much data online any number of social media sites, financial institutions, etc. can see almost everything we do. BUT on the other hand with proper use of crypto it is now possible to engage in secure communication at a distance that can never be decrypted without our consent and (if certain protocols and method are used) allow anonymity at both ends of the link (e.g. Tor hidden services). It is also possible to securely send money to others using Bitcoin without knowing their identity... ever. Very interesting times... it's both a panopticon and an unprecedented age for anonymity and privacy.
