That's what came to mind when I read this sentence of the article:

Numerous specks of technology could be discretely placed to invisibly monitor a home, business, or personal device.

I wonder what the people working on these technologies think of pervasive surveillance, and their stance on the gradual loss of privacy trend, because that's essentially what they're enabling.

If you watch the video, at least one person working on this specifically calls out surveillance as a potential application. He doesn't explicitly say much about what their opinions on it are, but it seems they're definitely aware of what they're doing.
