Chapter Thirteen. Inescapable Data in PerspectiveOur hope is that the readers of this book will internalize what Inescapable Data means and be on the lookout for emerging examples both as a means to improving one's quality of life or business, and possibly as a way to protect oneself from those who would harness the reach of Inescapable Data in intrusive or undesirable ways. The power of Inescapable Data will be ours to exploit. We may be on the cusp of a new world wherein we are able to leverage each other's presence, data, and capabilities and enable a magnified and rapid set of benefits. With the coming emergence of full-function, handheld wireless devices, the power will literally be in our hands. |
