The fact that data and information are new wealth is certainly not new.
Let's say that perhaps information has become too much, and that true wealth is in the hands of those who can filter, manage and use it for their own purposes.

yes, its not really new at all. but i think, it's now that more individuals become aware of it. it has long been used by so many companies for their businesses. and youre correct, those who know how to fully utilise that information have the actual gain with these big data.
so if youre a very private person, be alert on what youre signing up for or what possible data that youre giving to social media and the likes

It's almost impossible in the modern world to live full life and at the same time be on the alert about what you are doing on the Internet. It's either you live like a hermit or you are socially active and almost everything is known about you. The good news is that with the help of blockchain technologies it is possible to make sure that not only Facebook, Google or other big companies know the information, but everybody in the world has access to it. Only this way we can prevent the tyranny of the "new elite" modern philosophers warn us against.
