This was a particularly busy week, and I did not get a chance to post many thoughts. Instead, I’ll do a quick roundup of articles that I enjoyed reading this past week+.
First, a tongue-in-cheek post from Nick Carr entitled For Whom the Google Tolls:
It’s amazing that, before Google came along, any of us was able to survive beyond childhood. At the company’s Zeitgeist conference in London yesterday, cofounder Larry Page warned that privacy-protecting restrictions on Google’s ability to store personal data were hindering the company from tracking the spread of diseases and hence increasing the risk of mankind’s extinction. The less data Google is allowed to store, said Page, the “more likely we all are to die.”
