Google CEO Eric Schmidt Warns of All Knowing Social Media Sites
Google CEO Eric Schmidt told the Wall Street Journal that society isn't ready for social networks that know where you are all the time and record everything. He is predicting that young people may want to change their names when they become adults because of it.
Mr. Schmidt is surely right, though, that the questions go far beyond Google. "I don't believe society understands what happens when everything is available, knowable and recorded by everyone all the time," he says. He predicts, apparently seriously, that every young person one day will be entitled automatically to change his or her name on reaching adulthood in order to disown youthful hijinks stored on their friends' social media sites.
"I mean we really have to think about these things as a society," he adds. "I'm not even talking about the really terrible stuff, terrorism and access to evil things," he says.
We are seeing more and more steps towards all-knowing social networks. Facebook just launched Facebook Places, which can be used to let your friends track you and know where you are.
