Privacy is one of the biggest problems in this new electronic age. At the heart of the Internet culture is a force that wants to find out everything about you. And once it has found out everything about you and two hundred million others, that's a very valuable asset, and people will be tempted to trade and do commerce with that asset. This wasn't the information that people were thinking of when they called this the information age. Take a bit of the future and make it your present.
Success breeds complacency.
Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive. We're living the Next Big Thing. It's a little like living in the time when electricity was in its early stages. It took decades for electricity to change the landscape.
