You know eventually it may boil down to that, I'd guess we'd head to three stereotypes...
1) Acceptance; Either controlled and managed through educated mastery as much as possible or through uneducated disinterest people engage in and allow themselves to be monitored.
2) Mediation; Attempting, regardless of success or even feasibility to allow only either partial or non-invasive monitoring.
3) Rejection; Either active denial (through radio, electronic or electrical jamming, obfuscation or encryption) or significant or total (but not "aggressive") avoidance (such as the Amish).
The first state would (if not already is) the norm, the second (current norm only through lack of technological means) somewhat futile but could maintain a casual level of privacy, the third would be unusual in the "passive" form and potentially (already is to some extents) illegal in the active form.
Adopting any single, static position other than total openness or total passive avoidance would seem pointless and/or futile. Any attempt to remain between the two extremes could only be maintained by the ability to shift between all of them.
