I didn't have to think too hard about this one: I use Amazon regularly and rely on it to ship things to my doorstep quickly, I'm writing the post from a Windows 10 install, and I log into Facebook maybe two or three times per month. I have a Diaspora, and would like to see it or other social media platforms rise in popularity.

I don't see the allure. I get the idea, but the effect is so small it's not worth it to me. That and I was already completely content sitting on the far left/right side of a screen.

This could be a really good way to map wireless networks: https://wigle.net/

Self driving car, cloud thermostat, automated everything... Will there be a day where the general population has absolutely no idea of how their technology works or how to fix it? And don't say that day has come, because I have seen my grandma open up doors to "let the WiFi in better", however futile of an effort it was.

Yup, and I have multiple machines that use these services... Uh oh.
