Google has as its motto Dont be evil. Im sure many arguments could be made to the contrary but I believe in the sincerity of their motto. All great tools seem to have equal potential for evil -fire, automobiles, guns, money,etc.- but the dystopian possibilities dont outweigh the utopian possibilities. In fact, they always seem to be perfectly in balance. People get so freaked out over their data being mined imagining all the worst that could happen and completely overlook the importance of data mining and all we could learn from extrapolations of that data. If you see the future as doomed, then every decision you make will be influenced by that negative outlook. If youre not careful you may end up creating the world youre paranoid of. Never forget that the world is what you make it. I see a world thats a utopia, and thats what I try to make it.
