What tips would you like to share for this year?
“My tips come in the form of questions. In 2022 I will try to keep asking myself some, and I’m positive you will not regret doing the same, well at least eventually. Trying to answer them and coming up short because there is too much yet to learn is however the point:
- What obligations related to sharing of personal information do I feel is sensible to place on each member of society?
- Should data be owned, if yes, to what degree and in what form?
- And as a consequence of your answers to the above: What possibilities are then within grasp, if we allow and even expect this level of sharing, and what are the dangers?
Trying to fill these gaps will guide you to explore most aspects of live from a new perspective, many who traditionally have little to do with technology. And that is both the beauty and the revelation: Data is everything, and everything is data. What we do with it, is up to us”.
