Become your own data merchant! |
 |
Consumers who are not preoccupied about their data bodies being appropriated by corporations can play an active part in the data body business: they can offer their own personal data on the market and become, in paraphrasing Gate's metaphor of information being the lifeblood of the economy, the blood donors of the information age.
Internet services such as the one offered by  I-fay in Germany offer their customers a 40 % share of the profit generated from data vending. As an additional benefit, consumers are promised to always be in control of who acquires their data. I-fay's slogan: be king of your data!

Assembly line
An assembly line is an industrial arrangement of machines, equipment, and workers for continuous flow of workpieces in  mass production operations. An assembly line is designed by determining the sequences of operations for manufacture of each product component as well as the final product. Each movement of material is made as simple and short as possible with no cross flow or backtracking. Work assignments, numbers of machines, and production rates are programmed so that all operations performed along the line are compatible.
