And why would I want to risk it?

There seems no security here, nothing I can check for authenticity, so how do I know I'm not going to be duped intro loading a dodgy website, texting a premium service, exposing my email address to junk mail, etc. etc.

Surely we've learned by now that you have to take extreme care with active content. I'm sure the early applications are all benign, but so was all early email and look where we are now.

The "instant" gratification" impetus of the technology would likely override user caution at first.

Unimpressed.
