Interesting video, unfortunately one phrase in the description is quite misleading:

"Imagine a world where everyone knows everything about everyone. A world with OPEN DATA".

In the context of "open government", open data is a synonm for governments/public administrations sharing NON PERSONAL, machine-readable information of public data (e.g. data.wien.gv.at) which aim at creating a transparent governments/public administration rather than transparent citizens.

Just my 4 cents ;-)

Most people see facebook as a 1984's Big Brother. But most people don't realise that YOU are responsible for what you publish. You still are in control (in a way) of your reputation. Of course, if you publish pictures that shows you completely drunk in a woman's dress, puking all over the floor....

[Guillaume Goyard]

Agree! Open Data allows better democracy and open governance through transparence from institutions and goverment. Open Data has nothing to do with you showing how drunk you were last week end on facebook ;)

Personally, I prefer apple sauce.

interessante sache, die frage die sich mir stellt ist jedoch -kann ich mich einer solchen entwicklung entziehen ?- unter umständern hat der user einer solchen technologie gewaltige vorteile gegenüber allen die sie nicht benutzen.werden wir dann nicht -quasi aus selbstschutz- dazu gezwungen mitzumachen? und haben nicht jene die am anfang dabei sind grössere vorteile denn die die erst später einsteigen ? wenn man eine solche technologie verbieten will dann sollte man es präventiv tun.

People would became too deterministic, narrow minded and make decisions only based on what the miio shows. People are not like an RPG game characters who' can be measured up by just numbers. What if the calculations are wrong? You will never know if a girl with a totally different kind can be your best partner because nobody knows your true nature, only the ones you really know.

And with this device people won't talk to each other anymore.

I'm on facebook, but this doesn't mean I put every personal information there.
