To the list of bullet points, I’d add: “Employ Web 3.0 policy-enabled technologies” since this will make it possible to extend Internet technologies, and the productivity advances these enable, to confidential information (e.g., in health care). For this innovation to occur, an environment of trust must exist and users must be able to control who can and cannot see their personal information.

I believe our next major breakthrough in productivity will be powered by extending Internet technologies to confidential information, for example in health care. For this innovation to occur, an environment of trust must exist and therefore personal privacy must be assured. But another part of an environment of trust is that the results of research be open as this will accelerate needed advances.

I believe our next major breakthrough in productivity will be powered by extending Internet technologies to confidential information. This will have great value in health care and other areas. For this innovation to occur, an environment of trust must exist and personal privacy must be assured. Individuals must be able to control who can and cannot see their information, and for what purpose.
