$$Every two days, mankind creates as much information as it did from the dawn of civilization until $2003.$ The amount of information that an average person is exposed to in a day is the same as a person from the $15$th century was exposed to in his lifetime $($Smolan$,2012).$

After reading the above information from Smolan$$s book, think about the amount of data you generate or interface with daily. Compile a list of all the data point interactions and trace where the information originates and eventually ends. For example, if you use your credit card, where does the transaction information go and how is it used. Are you concerned about the explosion of data and your personal information? Why or why not?
