London Spit into a cup when you land in an airport, and your DNA is stored. Every phone in every city talks to every other nearby device, their exchanges floating somewhere in the ether. Cross-border travel is enabled only by governments sharing data about millions of private movements.
These are all possible visions of a future that the coronavirus pandemic has rushed on us -- decades of change effected, sometimes it feels, in just weeks. But a lurch into an even more intense era of mass data-collection -- the vast hoovering up of who went near whom and when, who is healthy to travel, and even scraps of personal DNA languishing in databases -- appears to be on the verge of becoming the new reality.
But the pandemic could also present an opportunity to re-assert -- or finally assert -- regulation over the new digital age."Nothing here is inevitable," she said."We have a responsibility to society as well as to the privacy of individuals. And we can do both. The answer to that question is entirely up to us.
