Chained Libraries
In the Middle Ages there were few books, and those that did exist were usually kept locked in chests or cupboards, or chained to desks in a church.
“This book belongs to the monastery of St. Mary of Robert's Bridge, whosoever shall steal it, sell
it or in any way alienate it from this house, or mutilate it, let him be forever cursed.”

Print, film, magnetic, and optical storage media produced about 5 exabytes of new information in
2002. Ninety-two percent of the new information was stored on magnetic media, mostly in hard disks.
How big is five exabytes? If digitized, the nineteen million books and other print collections in the Library of Congress
would contain about ten terabytes of information; five exabytes of information is equivalent in size to the
information contained in half a million new libraries the size of the Library of Congress print collections.
Although the Internet is the newest medium for information flows, it is the fastest growing new medium of all time, becoming the information
medium of first resort for its users.

“In July, Mexico's attorney general became a smart object. Rafael Macedo de la Concha had an RFID chip implanted in his arm that can track and authenticate him, a bold bid to fight government corruption. Of course, it's his brain that makes him smart. It's the chip that makes him an object: cataloged, searchable, and locatable in space and time.”Bruce Sterling, Wired

“In the information age to come, cameras and databases will sprout like poppies – or weeds – whether we like it or not. Over the long haul, we as a people must decide the following questions:
Can we stand living exposed to scrutiny, our secrets laid open, if in return we get flashlights of our own that we can shine on anyone who might do us harm – even the arrogant and strong?
Or is an illusion of privacy worth any price, even the cost of surrendering our own right to pierce the schemes of the powerful?”

“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don’t know we don't know.”

Open Source Intelligence
“In the world of secret services, Open Source Intelligence (OS-INT) means useful information gleaned from public sources.”
“We use the term differently…OS-INT means the application of collaborative principles developed by the Open Source Software movement to the gathering and analysis of information.”
