- 2. Technology is growing fast as our want for increases. convenience
- 3. Search engines track our keystrokes to present us with the searches we want
- 4. Online streaming providers track what we watch to suggest things we may like – and even make a tv show based on it
- 5. Smartphones and social networks allow our family and friends to track our every movement
- 6. And we love the attention, addicted to an ever-changing world.
- 7. People fear that we are moving towards a Big Brother society – where we have no freedom
- 8. Where data of our past and experiences will be used to predict and control our future lives
- 9. But will we allow such a thing? Is it even possible?
- 12. Trends sharplyrise and fall because we never knew we wanted something… Until we come up with it
- 13. Previous generations were perfectly content with what they had because ambitions for more advanced technology didn’t exist
- 14. Many horrific sci-fiswere created when technology first took off
- 15. But something completely differenthas come to pass, for better or for worse
- 16. Data cannot control us or our lives.
- 17. Life has a way of surprising us instead. Whetherit be wonderful
- 18. Or traumatic
- 19. We change and adapt in ways that cannot be predicted even by close family and friends
- 20. And most of all, we have the compassionthat will help guide us to a world where everyone is equal and connected
- 21. and not ruled over
- 22. Data is powerful – but it is still only a tool
- 23. Whether it hinders or helps our growth is up to us. The power is in ourhands. Let’s make the most of it.
