Hopeful theses 1) Information sharing over the Internet will be effortlessly
interwoven into daily life.
2) Artificial intelligence, augmented reality, wearable devices, and big data will make people more aware of their world and their own behavior – especially aid in health care.
3) The spread of the Internet will enhance global connectivity that fosters more planetary relationships and less ignorance.
4) An Internet-enabled revolution in education will spread more opportunities, with less money spent on real estate and teachers.
![Page 46: The Internet of Things and what it mean for librarians](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/55654417d8b42a9b4c8b4734/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Downbeat theses 1) The realities of this data-drenched world raise
substantial concerns about privacy and people’s abilities to control their own lives. The level of profiling and targeting will grow and amplify social, economic, and political struggles.
2) Dangerous divides between haves and have-nots may expand, resulting in resentment and possible violence.
3) Abuses and abusers will ‘evolve and scale.’ Human nature isn’t changing; there’s laziness, bullying, stalking, stupidity, pornography, dirty tricks, crime, and those who practice them have new capacity to make life miserable for others.
![Page 47: The Internet of Things and what it mean for librarians](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062307/55654417d8b42a9b4c8b4734/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Downbeat theses (con’t)
4) Pressured by these changes, governments and corporations will try to assert power as they invoke security and cultural norms.
5) Humans and their organizations may not respond quickly enough to challenges presented by complex networks.
6) There will be complicated, unintended consequences: ‘We will live in a world where many things won’t work and nobody will know how to fix them.’
