This series will explore the job of privacy manager in the future and how humankind will fit in to a future world order dominated with the technologies we created. We explore how "human activity" will be taken over thereby rendering the jobs of today and obsolete relic of the past beyond a century in our distant future.

Years and centuries into the future, we will be experiencing great and revolutionary change to the way we live, how society works and how humankind as a whole will see themselves. Our world has been shaped by different periods of technological growth and progress from the Neolithic Revolution to the Industrial Revolution. Exponential growth in population and rapid advancement in manufacturing, production and consumption coupled with the rise of automation, artificial intelligence and robotics will transformed human society fully-integrated with our own mechanical wonders.

Now that we have become connected with each other through the Internet and social media, we have blurred the lines of privacy so that anyone can peek inside our private lives without us knowing it. Everything will become so transparent in the future that algorithms will take over and predict what we are going to do next. Privacy will become a luxury so that only rich and powerful people will get to enjoy it.

With that future prospect in mind, it will become an opportunity for privacy managers to help their clients become anonymous in the future digital world.
