Integration
Integration is digitally interconnecting various data points.
It is both convenience and control. The future digital user must be careful how things interconnect.
For example, when the passport photo is taken, the bank has a connection point with the government to verify that your bank photo is the same person. Another example is Geneology tests (DNA tests) - while it is interesting for about 30min to gaze at who they think your ancestors may be, consider how many crimes have been 'solved' recently using DNA tests.. How? Your uncle goes for a DNA test, and 'you commit a crime'. The database record can be searched and they can know that your uncle is related to the 'culprit'. This then means that other databases can provide a list of the family members to search for. Currently there may be little to no integration between these systems and the work might be manual. In future it may be digital.
When you set up you phone, do you also quickly log into Google play, etc?
