> One of the biggest themes of the 21st century is interconnection
> -- specifically, the interconnection of people and data.  These
> interconnections can change everything about how we see the world,
> how the world sees us, and how we work together.  Where some people
> might see "big brother," I see empowerment -- empowerment of groups
> and individuals to improve quality of life and reduce our impact on
> the planet.
