Security has been the red-headed stepchild of software and, in some cases, hardware innovation for a long time. And I agree that it's important to take steps to ensure that changes.
I think two simple principles should be remembered to facilitate this:
1. Most end users will choose convenience over security
2. Security without usability is a compromise to security
If developers of these innovative technologies take the time to implement tried-and-tested security/privacy controls while providing easy-to-undersatnd education for non-technical users, then I believe things can certainly improve.
