Information Overload

This is the new year and you might be wondering where we are headed as far as tech goes. First of all, your smartphone will know more about you than even you know. It might be getting closer to a point where it will anticipate what you are going to do or want. Even now, the mobile applications are using our data as currency. There will also be more things that are connected, which means that they will be able to collect even more data. Secondly, there is more demand for better security. Everything that can be hacked, will most likely be hacked. I think we need to broaden this definition as well. Yes, data will be stolen and there is always the second step of it being used. It goes beyond data though. A hacker that wants to do harm can achieve it by manipulating lights, creating outages, and just wrecking havoc in general. There is really no such thing as privacy anymore and people will live in fear of being exposed because we will still remain people and suffer the human condition.
