I hooked up to the internet when it was still fairly young. Hardly anybody had a web page back then and the few bulletin boards were very basic.
Now look at what it is. People have to take precautions to keep it from complicating their lives.
And it all happened so incredibly fast. Imagine how much will change in the next 10-20 years.
The future will see 2 changes which will make things much worse from a privacy standpoint.
AI (artificial intelligence) will explode. It will be used to replace human decisions, and it will be used to profile you as an individual down to a fine degree.AI will allow the people who control it to know more about you than you thought possible. It will be misused. Guaranteed.
The Internet of Things will became much more real. This is the idea that many normally mundane things are connected to the internet. DON'T connect stuff to the internet just because you can. Just don't.
