    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it has been said that data is the next frontier, the next fuel and the next gold mine. I do not get impressed much by British Prime Ministers, but I was quite impressed when the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom went to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), and instead of talking about the war in Syria, the situation in Iraq, the situation in China and the problems with India; he talked about a future driven by data technology. This is data technology which demands greater openness, a future where governments, open governance frameworks and open Government standards would be at the center of each and every decision. I suspect that Prime Minister Boris could have seen the future. I suspect that the scientists and innovators in his country have told him that the future is not about the war in Syria or the oil prices and trade wars with China, rather the future lies in technology and innovations that will be driven by data. In that future, we are already generating tonnes and tonnes of data. Every single moment you wake up, you are generating data unknowingly. Your phone will be logging your location, what time you woke up and even how many steps you have taken. At the end of the day, that phone will have generated megabytes of data about you. Over a lifetime, there will be gigabytes of data about you. When you put that together for the 5 billion people in this world, there will be trillions and trillions of gigabytes of data. The question is; will that data be used for good or will it be used for bad? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from this data, it will be possible to build trends. People will know which your favorite hotel is, and which areas you go to. In fact through data, it will be revealed if you have a second wife. If your usual residence is in Lavington, and every day at around 9.00 p.m. or 10.00 p.m., you are somewhere in South B or South C, those trends will be able to tell a lot of things about you.
