I wouldn't feel comfortable about having a device that houses enough 'knowledge' about me to offer up information that might make my life easier [at times.] Maybe I am just getting old!

Your editor may be reading:-) I think that "down time" can be in context. With regards to informatics, our devices can learn when we are to be interrupted and when we are to be left alone. Our kids have always had connected devices, so their online time is "normal." Therefore, when they are offline, they feel stress. We, on the other hand, added these devices into our lives, so it is a relief when we are away from them. I'm not prepared to say whether the old is better than the new or the new is better than the old. They are just different. It will be interesting to see what happens, though!

I'd argue for the latter. This brings an interesting question to mind. There are days/weeks when I withdraw from email/net communications for reasons as varied as health, workload, location, and just plain orneriness. My 13-year-old, however, is constantly texting and frequently posting or emailing. I find it soothing to "get away" for a day--she finds it stressful. Can Net-genners handle down-time?

And the creation of an intelligent "passive" web is very exciting. One of the key challenges will be the design of interaction metaphors (where I thought your post was going actually). This is a real challenge. The limitations of technology today (a stateless browser, for example) present all sorts of problems to overcome. Having the data to make decisions is an important piece - how to present the results in an acceptable and usable manner is another. The proverbial mashup is indeed tantalizing.
