Facebook, Google, Amazon, the CIA, the FBI, have all this data about each of us.
In time, because of advances in data analysis, improved algorithms, "they" will know more about each of us than we understand about ourselves... which this or that we will choose to purchase, which way we might choose to vote... if we will vote.... etc.
You name it, one or more of those "Theys" will know your choice before you make it.
What does it all mean?
Could it mean that the future will not be the domain of humans. Will the algorithms dominate?
"The future of life itself may depend upon the answer to this question."- Prof. Yuval Noah Harari

"Prof. Yuval Noah Harari tells us about the clear and immediate danger hidden within the information revolution. If we are not careful, in the future we will become the property of commercial companies and legal entities that will use our personal data for their benefit. This is a grave warning that if we take seriously will lead us to a more optimistic future."
