| This is a public service announcement | |
| Ladies and gentlemen, we are now entering | |
| The age of information | |
| It's perfectly safe | |
| If we all take a few basic precautions | |
| May I make some observations? | |
| Axiom 1 for the world we've begun: | |
| Your reputation used to depend on | |
| What you concealed | |
| Now it depends on what you reveal | |
| The age of secretive mandarins who creep on heels of tact is dead: | |
| We are all players now in the great game of fact instead | |
| So since you can't keep your cards to your chest | |
| I'd suggest you think a few moves ahead | |
| As one does when playing a game of chess | |
| Axiom 2 to make the world new: | |
| Paranoia's simply a word for seeing things as they are | |
| Act as you wish to be seen to act | |
| Or leave for some other star | |
| Somebody is prying through your files, probably | |
| Somebody's hand is in your tin of Netscape magic cookies | |
| But relax: if you're an interesting person | |
| Morally good in your acts | |
| You have nothing to fear from facts | |
| Axiom 3 for transparency: | |
| In the age of information the only way to hide facts | |
| Is with interpretations, there is no way to stop the free exchange | |
| Of idle speculations | |
| In the days before communication privacy meant staying at home | |
| Sitting in the dark with the curtains shut unsure whether to answer the phone | |
| But these are different times, now the bottom line | |
| Is that everyone should prepare to be known | |
| Most of your friends will still like you fine | |
| X said to Y what A said to B | |
| B wrote an E-mail and sent it to me | |
| I showed C and C wrote to A: | |
| Flaming world war three | |
| Cut, paste, forward, copy | |
| CC, go with the flow | |
| Our ambition should be to love what we finally know | |
| Or, if it proves unloveable, simply to go | |
| Axiom 4 for this world I adore: | |
| Our loyalties should shift in view | |
| According to what we know | |
| And who we are speaking to | |
| Once I was loyal to you, and prepared to be against information | |
| Now I am loyal to information, maybe I'm disloyal to you | |
| My loyalty becomes more complex and cubist with every new fact I learn | |
| It depends who I'm speaking to | |
| And who they speak to in turn | |
| Axiom 5 for information workers who wish to stay alive: | |
| Supply, never withhold, the information requested | |
| With total disregard for interests | |
| Personal and vested | |
| Chinese whispers was an analogue game | |
| Where the signal degraded between brain and brain | |
| Digital whispers is the same in reverse | |
| The word we spread gets better, not worse | |
| Better, not worse | |
| X said to Y what A said to B | |
| B wrote an E-mail and sent it to me | |
| I showed C and C wrote to A: | |
| Flaming world war three | |
| Cut, paste, forward, copy | |
