Push Data is already happening all the time with mobile system updates.
Also, plenty of people are required to have some form of push authentication to log into their work site from home, replacing a USB key authentication.
In my case, my phone requires a "push authentication" app in place of a HASP Key/dongle when I work remotely in order to use the licensed software used by our organization.
It's a giant security threat (on a personal level) , and I refused to use it on my personal phone. Wouldn't work remotely until they provided me with a company-paid mobile phone. And even THAT bothers me. I know powering it down DOESN'T actually "turn it off", as pulling the battery alerts the IT guys (but turning the phone off doesn't, wtf?)
Big brother can watch you easily enough. Privacy is near-dead.
I don't have a cell phone and I'm a 28 year old female. It is possible. Yes whenever anyone finds out they think I'm nuts. I wouldn't mind keeping a jitterbug or something in my car for emergencies, I just haven't gotten around to getting one because I detest cell phones so much. It's great when no one can get a hold of you to cover their shift at work and you never have to deal with spam calls. I keep running shoes in the trunk in case my car breaks down.
Well, given the choice of that or never ever being someone of interest to the government, it seems most people are rolling with the latter. Everyone thought the kremlin was a bit mad dropping computers entirely and going to typewriters, doesn't seem so silly now though.

Whilst I agree with everything you said too many people forget you can wrap the thing in literal tin foil.
True! Lol
