The Gillmor Gang ? Robert Scoble, Kevin Marks, Keith Teare, and Steve Gillmor ? view the world through PRISM glasses. We, or me, couldn?t help wondering what part of surpised we are at the idea we?re being monitored and scraped within an inch of our metadata. It?s hard to tell whether we?re worried about losing our individual freedoms, or having to do the hard work of balancing the tradeoffs in a dangerous world of drones and the streams that feed them.
Still, the stakes couldn?t be higher as we sell our digital identities for the price of free access to the flow of information. And what about the cost of our freedom to share the music that defined the creative revolution of the 60?s and the video revolution of Mad Men and Netflix? From Richie Havens on the stage at Woodstock to Obama?s politics of the personal, we can?t afford to sit back and ignore the costs, and the value, of swimming in the social waters. Ben Franklin may not have anticipated Twitter, but Paul Revere did. Honey, disconnect the phone.
