I have this train of thought lately not unlike Burke's.
It postulates that the key issue is assymetry of collection and usage of our personal information. NSA and other intelligence agencies are basically collecting data for malicious purposes from an individual's perspective.
The data banks have no benefit to us as individuals at this point of time. However NSA's databases and technology could be used for many wonderful things to improve our lives.
PRSM.com is just a tip of the iceberg. Even if it is just a joke.
- Joeri 13y agoLooking forward it seems unavoidable that our lives will be fully recorded, and that we will not be able to control this. There are two possible ways to deal with this: either we have strong data privacy legislation which enforces data firewalls that the subject of that data controls, requiring a judicial review to bypass on an individual basis, or we abandon the notion of digital privacy and accept that everything we do and say is known to everyone. In the long term, i imagine it could become the second option, but for those of us who grew up with a sense of privacy it will be a hard transition.
