I favor strategies that encourage industry to include some sort of key recovery capability in their systems which would also address user requirements for access.

Catalyzed by the Recovery Act, adoption of electronic health records is increasing dramatically.

It's so cheap to store all data. It's cheaper to keep it than to delete it. And that means people will change their behavior because they know anything they say online can be used against them in the future.

Uncontrolled access to data, with no audit trail of activity and no oversight would be going too far. This applies to both commercial and government use of data about people.

There's definitely a huge opportunity for businesses to transform their operations and decision making by using data.

So we should preserve it. I don't think that digital storage is necessarily a good thing, but I definitely think that digital manipulation is interesting.

I believe people have a right to know what's going on with their information and how it's collected, how it's stored and who gets it.

We created the ability for people to insert enterprise or personal data.

Records used to be documents, but now record companies want product.

More than once, I've wished my real life had a delete key.
