You are putting a negative spin on it. Geolocation is hot and has many applications. Telling someone that they will never be lost or bewildered in an unfamiliar neighborhood is a fantastic selling point. It is a very positive benefit. I have read several stories about people using their smart phones to get quick medical help. The same app that finds you pizza can also find you a physician.

But much of the marketing for smartphones concerns just such convenience issues as picking a restaurant (or a store, or some other way of consuming); so this isn't my idea. In nearly all the commercials I've seen, convenience and consumption are the main selling points of smartphones and portable smart devices.
