Yes, there is more recorded information now than ever but the value of each piece of recorded information is tiny and decreasing. We have information inflation depreciating recorded information.

Today recorded information is weak ore. It needs great refinement to produce value. It takes huge data sets to produce and refined output.

Most peoples data is almost worthless on its own. It gets value only in the form of a connected data set.

Public recognition and public knowledge of each of us is part of or life now, and there are great benefits to having that information known by intelligent systems.

Not just great benefits but great risks and great costs of having our information known by intelligent systems. Those intelligent systems then can target us in detrimental ways. Targeted ads come to steal you money. Other ways you are targeted for discrimination.
