Essentially you are advocating to the end of the little privacy remaining. I think of it this way, someone is always tracking your activities examples 1. Supermarket smartcard - determines where you normally shop and can create a map of your movement and shopping trends. 2. Debit/Credit card - determines where and how you use your moolah, mapping your locations 3. Fuel card - determines where & how much you usually consume in fuelwise, still mapping your location 4. Mobile phone - continuously tracks your movement the entire day how much more information do you want do divulge about yourself? Or maybe I have been watching too much TV, person of interest etcetc On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 9:40 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:
@Karunyu,
Could you be a little more specific? Try to be part of the solution by telling us how you'd go about this. Leaving it as it is doesn't help, but simply means we retain the status quo. We need to be the change we want.

I think we are making the classic mistake programmers make; given a problem, jump straight to solving it in technology without doing due diligence and doing the bits in between problem and software.
IMHO, for and undertaking as such as this, the primary key in the database is the LEAST of your problems.
I would think that solving the human issues (privacy, accessibility from ASAL, security etc) would have precedence.

@josh so what would be the primary key or foreign key for that matter? the problem is not the information but the kind of information about you that would be accessible to those who should not have access to it. In the case of the drivers license guess its the amount of information returned to anyone that is the problem and not that the primary key was the social security no. Plus if information about you is being stored in different institutions or government agencies how else would they link your data across all the db's. Any system can be abused be it computers or paper systems. What would you suggest as the next step?
