Consider for a moment the amount of data about you that resides in multiple technological matrices.
1.
Our government has considerable identifying data on us personally as a requirement of citizenship.
Name, location social security number, date of birth, gender, law enforcement records and the list goes on.
2.
Our medical institutions have vast arrays of data on our health history, medications, physical conditions and the list goes on.
3.
Our educational institutions have data on our learning experiences, intellectual capacities as well as specialties and the list goes on.
4.
Our employers have our history of employment, financial information, personal information, occupational categorizations and the list goes on.
5.
Our financial institutions have details of our spending, deposits and related personal information.
6.
Our cell phone providers have similar personal data on us individually plus our communications history and now GPS tracking capabilities.
The list of services and products providers we use daily is significant and each has a set of data on us as individuals, our behavior patterns and related affinity data.
Just think about your computer, the web sites you visit and the emails you send and receive.
Enter Social Mediums Most all of the social networks we use require a set of baseline information about us to register for usage, consider the data collected on you.
Our subsequent activities within social networks is a stream of data which identifies numerous affinities that create a digital profile of us that operators then use collectively for their own analysis and planning purposes.
Each of the previous six examples of data collected on you represents silo technological matrices.
Social mediums are yet another matrix of data marks that identifies you and your affinities, preferences and privileges.
Social mediums are one of the largest emerging singular matrices that collect the most dynamic points of data on individuals.
Data is collected and creates information.
Information is collected and creates knowledge.
Knowledge is gained and creates intelligence.
Intelligence creates power to those that use it.
Already in some networks the technology is recommending communities, people we may be interested in connecting with and tools we should consider using.
Smart technologies are already analyzing our behavorialpatterns.
Enter the Era of Convergence What one event sparked the demand and need for technological convergence? 9/11 attack on the world trade towers.
This event awoke the United States Government to the need for technological convergence for the purposes of identifying and tracking an enemy they could not see, they could not hear and they could not fight using traditional methods of intelligence gathering.
All of the above silo technological matrices have been and will continue to be converged together as a priority of national security.
Fueled by the deep pockets of the American taxpayer and intensified by political influences of the intelligence establishments.
Many Americas are already screaming about privacy concerns of this new apparatus of intelligence catering.
Our privacy has always been and will continue to be invaded; it began during the information age and will only be accelerated in the coming ages of technological advancements.
While governments are converging technological matrices private sector initiatives will follow form in years to come.
Much debate will be created over a multitude of issues and we the people will hear a lot of noise and scare tactics aimed at preventing the private sector having access to a converged technological matrix.
Greed and power will win because the collective economic value of converged matrices is wider and deeper than any other proposition in the history of mankind.
Will it happen in our lifetime?What say you?
