Everything is public

Everything is PublicNothing is Private

It’s 1949

Enter: A new era, a ‘baby boom’ and

therefore the baby boomers were born

Everything is Public

Big Brother


Orwell anticipated a fictional era where data

is collected for manipulation and

control of the masses

An era of Big Data

But wait, we’ve been gathering

data for centuries


We’ve been writing on walls

for centuries


We still write on walls



We wrote on ancient walls

too


Politics on Walls




Love on Walls



However…

We grew up believing what we did was private unless we

made it public

http://www



SMS, messaging,

email and ICQ




Networking in social walled

gardens



Our thirst for information was growing



Browsers, portals and

search engines







Baby boomers invented the

internet

but……what have we done?!

Will we survive Y2K - the Bug, and

then what if we do?


We survived. Enter: a new millennium


We embraced social networking and

created social media



We shared our knowledge, our skills, and much

more


Gen-X and Gen-Y took too it all and Baby Boomers scoffed



We laughed and cried over all the social media spilt milk





Has our privacy been shredded?


And who cares?

It’s 2014

Enter: a new generation

Yes, the X and Y’s are having

kids

The Millennial Generation

Gen-Z?...

…and guess what, they are now all

becoming…

teenagers


customers


employees


Intuitively they know that everything they

do is public


They take it for granted



When they sign up to social media

platforms, they choose what to make private



There will always be socially unacceptable

exceptions


We’ve been making good and bad choices about what we post on walls for centuries too

Fast forward a few years

It’s 2024

They have lived their entire lives online. They have never

known life off the grid



They don’t call it Big Data or Big Brother

They don’t call it anything yet


Have they been blissfully unaware that everything they do has

been captured?

NO

They’ve stopped worrying about data being collected for manipulation and

control of the masses

They’re astutely aware of data being collected for manipulation and control of the masses

Irrespective of whether we think

this is a good thing or a bad thing

Their generation will understand data better

than any generation before them

They totally get it

If you want to ‘get’ them and you want

them to ‘get’ you then be as open as they are

Flip the convention on

its head…

Everything is public
