Future Data Mining

Perhaps if it is not happening now, I believe as time progresses man and machine are going to be united to make huge calculations on data gathered from around the globe. You see there are companies as we speak if, not governments that gather data on the general public already, although the hackers around the net already knew about government surveillance before the Snowden revelations. Still in its premature stage, this data being collected is giving companies big advertisement advantage, selling there products based on your location in accordance to their store is one example of this form of data collection.

 One day you are walking down the street, browsing on your smartphone, nearly dodging a pole(behold humans hurting themselves idolizing technology to the fact they hurt themselves, what a glorious time we live in.), and all of a sudden on your pandora station you get an advertisement for the nearest McDonalds. But it does not stop here, I have a hunch that the government can just enter your social on their data and have your whole internet history, your nearest family and communities internet history.

With algorithms AI and humans fashion the data to predict your every move, it's like they know you better than you. So, as time moves on we have artificial intelligence being built to organize this massive data, based on the specifications of the creators, to have a total control of society's desires, furthermore, managing the direction of the globe.  As science moves down to the nanoscale, I guarantee there is secret science funding experiments making a humanoid cybernetic robot that orchestrates the internet, kinda like that movie Eagle Eye, expect, more sophisticated, insightful, and organized.

With the internet of everything coming along, it is no wonder that this data will have a significant impact on our daily lives. Although, there is a different approach of looking at this. By utilizing this data we can design our lives to manage our time more efficiently and effectively. We can gather data on infected pollutions by monitoring the number of internet searches for a specific symptoms, or monitor a population's reaction to a certain event, thereby shaping news for better coverage of events, ideas, and growth.  Just like with every technological breakthrough there's always pitfalls and advantages. However, insight beforehand can save a lot of unnecessary damages. Feel free to contact me for future discussion of this if you are interested.
