Portability and connectivity...

It's interesting to see how technology seems to be consolidating several devices into one, which means that as a whole people will need fewer devices to do more.

The idea that with a couple of devices you could replace most of the ones you have now. Not only that, those devices will be portable enough to be taken with you everywhere. And with modern connectivity technology you'll be on line most of the time, with all the implications it brings along.

Today we are connected to the Internet almost 24/7, and almost from anywhere, thanks to laptops and smartphones. In many ways, both laptops and smartphones are points of access that grant humanity to share all what they want in an instant.

So much so, that nowadays the question is no longer if we could share our daily routine with our friends and family. The real question has become what should be sharing, and how much privacy we want for ourselves.

This is why is so important have a complete control on our information. With so much of our personal information out there, it's most important to be able to have a granular control over it in order not to loose control over it.

It's both a blessing and a curse, but we have to learn to live with it.
