Zuboff’s 3 Laws (mid-1990)

  1. everything that can be automated will be automated
  2. everything that can be informated will be informated
  3. ALL DIGITALLY PRODUCED DATA that can be used for SURVEILLANCE & CONTROL will be used for surveillance and control, in the absence of countervailing rights, laws, contracts, rules, or sanctions.

 

Formulated in the mid-1990s, assuming the dominant economic paradigmand, grounded in 20 years of clinical observations of “workplace computerization”, the 3 laws summarized and predicted behavior in the economic domain.

 

Zuboff’s Fourth Law is a corollary of the first 3

il sogno del potere tramite la perfetta visione

Come nel signore degli anelli: “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them…”
