Mind's Eye Re: Search Engine As God

I suppose I don't think I meant anything about god - more about the surveillance possible by machine and the idea of very little being private.  My own view is we should be less concerned with surveillance itself and more with what is made public.  I favour making banking very transparent and the colour of other people's underwear unknown except in private.

now fueled the dream that God-like omniscience and omnipotence can 

be created by man.

This is an interesting way of thinking about information systems - full free paper at http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1304/1304.3271.pdf
