There may be nothing that can be done regarding slowing the information age down, I see this as problematic for a lot of folks.? Now every insurance company will want this information to evaluate whether or not you are a good risk (not unlike auto insurance).? Also, there will be instances where ones information that wish to remain private will do so.? Like seeing psych doctor once, or having an abortion, having a diesease that may not be considered "socailly accecptable" (no matter how it was obtained).? This information, not unlike financial information may not be best to spread around (for the "benefit" of that particular individual).? Conversely, there will many instances where the addtional information will be helpful and that is what we will be told and how this is going to be sold (or swallowed like medicine that tastes bad but is supposed to be good for us).? 5 years will probably be tops in when this happens.?
