I’ve done some digging about the future of personal information management, and there are three fundamental trends of interest I uncovered in my research.
Whatever your personal perspective on the rights and wrongs of the current Palestinian-Israeli war in Gaza, there's a second front being fought on the Internet. This form of warfare is a battle of words and often vivid imagery engaged by hackers from either side of the divide. The image shown below is a highly graphic example from a defaced Israeli commercial Website, hacked by "DNS Team" today.
The dawning of the New Year was, sadly, accompanied by some old, familiar images: clashes of Israeli and Palestinian forces in Gaza as the latest cease-fire expired.
Huge numbers of impoverished young people
in Nigeria have been expending a massive amount of energy and talent to commit cybercrimes.
We humans are whirling dervishes of motion. We're always walking, running, falling, riding in automobiles, hopping on bicycles, and even -- horror of horrors -- exercising. So it's no surprise to see that "applications of motion" are creating new types of wireless Internet software.
When considering our preparedness (or lack of it) for cyber warfare or fighting cyber criminals, an old African quotation comes to mind: "When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you."
