It seems our society went from [He/She who has access to information, controls the ignorant], to [..who controls access to information, gains status over the ignorant], to [.....who controls data collection, gains productivity], to [...who owns data, owns the ignorant] , to where we are currently..... Individuals being able to own their data, drive their own productivity and choose to be powerless or not. The future, as I see it, will brighten once people control their data and can delegate productivity to AI and robots. Then we move into to that creativity era I spoke of. Peace and prosperity to you.
