The future of computing-the future of business
Rapid technological innovation is moving us towards a world of
ubiquitous computing-a world in which we are surrounded by smart
machines that are always on, always aware, and always monitoring
us. These developments will create a world virtually without
secrets in which information is widely available and analyzable
worldwide. This environment will certainly affect business,
government, and the individual alike, dramatically affecting the
way organizations and individuals interact. This book explores the
implications of the coming world and suggests and explores policy
options that can protect individuals and organizations from
exploitation and safeguard the implicit contract between employees,
businesses, and society itself. World Without Secrets casts an
unflinching eye on a future we may not necessarily desire, but will
experience.
