Abstract: Days like "Minority Report" are sooner than we expected. How well do you know yourself? How well bigger tech giants know you? Are we becoming immortal? "What happened in Vegas stays in Facebook, YouTube, Flicker, etc."

4. Data ! Data !! Data !!!
• "There was 5 exabytes of information created between the dawn of
civilization through 2003…… but that much information is now
created every 2 days, and the pace is increasing...People aren't
ready for the technology revolution that's going to happen to
them....“
• "If I look at enough of your messaging and your location, and use
Artificial Intelligence," Schmidt said, "we can predict where you are
going to go."
• "Show us 14 photos of yourself and we can identify who you are.
You think you don't have 14 photos of yourself on the internet?
You've got Facebook photos! People will find it's very useful to have
devices that remember what you want to do, because you
forgot...But society isn't ready for questions that will be raised as
result of user-generated content."
-Eric Schmidt @ the Techonomy confab in
2010

It's not just the NSA, though. Big Internet businesses have been using the same techniques to deliver customized Web experiences to you for almost twenty years

First, this data can only be collected when you are logged in to a Google service. Second, Google gives you options to turn the collection off, or delete archived data. And third, access to all this information is password protected. But once you get past the login screen, the amount of information there is staggering
every YouTube video you watched, all the Web pages you visited, calls you made with Google Voice, even a day-by-day history of every location you have looked up on Google Maps
And this is based on what is being stored right now, before wearable computers and self-driving cars. As time goes on, our Google Dashboards will tell us more and more about who we are, and who we were.
