Question:
In the 'Future Of Real-Time Information' slide presentation, 11 trends are identified. In your opinion, which of those are short-term, or already realized in developed countries, and which of those are long-term, or may not realize in the future? All of the 11 trends identified are viewed (in this presentation) to have a positive impact on the quality of life for humanity on a worldwide scale. Use a contrarian view to write critique on a selected few to elaborate on these trends' possible negative implications. Some of the examples could be 1. Personal census data on community spending habits versus privacy and identity theft concerns. 2. Social sentiment trend monitoring may lead to polarization and escalation of the political conflict. 3. Promoting civic engagement by lowering the barrier of entry could drown out individual voices. 4. The overwhelming amount of information requires more sophisticated analysis and will actually concentrate power in the hands of a few. Besides, they have a poor track record of making sound analyses and correct predictions. 5. Data democracy will exacerbate the 'digital gap'. The amount of data available to the average citizen may actually reduce relative to the amount of data available to central powers such as the government and big business.
Finally, what is your view on the recent development of quantum communication technology? Do you believe future quantum technology can be the panacea that can allay all data security concerns?
