This is just exactly what was bound to happen after the push to link the EBay/PayPal accounts.
I have a PayPal two factor token; EBay asks me to link them and then the two factor authentication was rendered useless. I broke the link.
EBay needs to get a grip.
We may not always like it. But this kind of thing happens with technology shifts. In photography it devoured Polaroid and has nearly eaten the film industry. Go to a restaurant. People are passing their phones around not pictures. It will happen to most of the printed media. Why have a pile of magazines when you can just get to this stuff from wherever you are? Who buys physical media with music on it any more?
Governments can try to restrict this through laws and licensing, but it is more likely that it will drive it underground. It is probably something that needs to be run through the idea mill a few times. Reduce the licensing requirements for cabs make them part of the Uber network... whatever makes sense. This is more about price and convenience than ruining the cab business. I have a friend who knew a coffee shop owner. Starbucks came to a nearby spot. There was much complaining and grumbling about ruined business. My friend complained as though it was predatory. When I suggested that Starbucks wasn't using predatory pricing and was frequently the butt of the $5 cup of coffee - he suddenly realized that it was the product being offered that was the killer.
Somehow I have the sense that young folks might always start out believing and then convert to a more considered opinion. Are there any previous studies?
This is the same mistake made by all that have gone before... Sell it to one of the broadcast networks where it will be canceled in 2 years or less. Sell it to the SciFy channel where it will be watched and supported.
The may be down, but they are only out if they want to be. They have games, they have Skype, they have office apps, they have a cloud, etc... And they have deep pockets. Wish them away if you will. If they want part of this market, they will get it. I don't see how they can afford to not want the mobile market.
Make your predictions now and look back in 5 years.
When was the last time you went to McDonalds and got a free hamburger or GM and got a free car? How many of us can expect to work for FREE. That is what is happening here. It is not a matter making things fit some demand model. Demanding that things be free, doesn't make it so.

Isn't it assumed that the state changes on observation?

of some sort of number manipuation that produces absolutely nothing.
