I think that in the context of a discussion around a subject of evolution of privacy, it is important to remember where privacy originates. The privacy is not an invention of human civilisation but rather the principle expression of fundamental operation of self. Humans as probably is true for many other creatures in animal kingdom poses an inherent harbour of privacy within our minds. We are able to operate in as much privacy as we choose. The information revolution, however far into the past the development of our civilisation you choose to accept it spans, continues to expand our knowledge outwards into scriptures, books and recently the Internet and beyond. We should choose wisely whether to limit the plane to which we can comfortably, seamlessly and yes privately extend the operation of self - our minds. I would hate to find myself being only able to "think" privately inside my own skull. I think I would be less.
Yes, given the prospects of even that fundamental barrier being breachable the more important it is for the concept of privacy to be understood and widely accepted.
The only universal reason to limit privacy is that of control (whatever the motivation for such control).
