![[BizTrends 2016] Heading for a 'privacy apocalypse'](https://biz-file.com/c/1602/329303-120x120.jpg?2)
Big data is all the rage, but what does that mean in real terms in 2016 and is it just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the implications for privacy protection and the unchecked harvesting of consumer experiences..?

We have become disconnected from the "why" of things. Today, everybody seems to be pursuing the making of money and, if we are all trying to produce money, you tend to wonder who is producing anything useful. You can see this attitude at play all over SA as politicians, businessmen and community alike squander precious time and resources that will ill-serve the next generation. But what has this to do with Dev Culture?

2012 will bring fundamental tectonic shifts to the balance of power in technology choices.

A few months ago, I had the privilege of watching a "Steve-note" live, as Steve Jobs introduced iOS 5.0, Lion and iCloud at Apple's WorldWide Developer Conference in San Francisco. As he entered, the room erupted in an outpouring of love as 5000 developers and Apple people paid homage to an icon of our age.

A lot has been said about Apple's desire for control and what has been interpreted by many as an unnecessary exertion of power over its app store. But it boils down to this... if you spent a decade building an ecosystem of trust, a space where consumers could with almost a certainty understand the value (or valet) proposition being offered them, would you allow Adobe, Google or anybody else to say, "Hey, nice ecosystem you built there - we'll have it!"?
