Summary of Rita Gunther McGrath's Seeing Around Corners

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview:

#1 Social media platforms had a difficult 2018, and the rise and struggles of Facebook and other social media platforms illustrate the dilemma of seeing the real implications of unfolding inflection points.

#2 The right to privacy with regard to the use of library resources has been affirmed again and again in court cases throughout the years. The risk of librarians being able to tell others about my personal interests was considered so great that it was actually addressed in their code of ethics.

#3 The pre-digital era was rife with information about people, and it was available to third parties with an interest in finding it out. But today, data brokers can combine multiple databases against one another cheaply and at lightning speed.

#4 The average person has no idea that telling any website anything may put that information out there in the public domain. And while users are dimly aware that websites track them using cookies, they do not realize that these cookies are also placed by third parties.
