“Who Owns Information”: A Review of the Premises of Author Anne Wells Branscomb
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page review of the need for improved information management and protection. Utilizes the work of noted policy analyst Anne Wells Branscomb to illustrate the fact that the management of information has become considerably more complex in the last few generations. The miracles of modern technology have resulted in easy access to all types of information which at one time were accessible only to a few privileged individuals. The author asserts that in today’s economically driven environment our private information is often even viewed as a commodity and sold to the highest bidder. Everything from our social security numbers, to our phone numbers, to our medical records are at risk. Some is even open in many cases to the prying eyes of the public. This paper addresses the evolutionary trend toward information marketing and public access to information and outlines recommendations as to what provisions should be put in place to ensure information privacy. No additional sources are listed.
