With all that said, what is it you expect the future to entail?

Certainly corruption (that will never stop), and manipulation of data will Inevitably continue.

In terms of data manipulation, If It's not only the government, It's hackers as well. Around 30 minutes ago I gained access to a major college, whereby I had full raid on their systems. I could've changed grades, registered new students, deleted entries and so on. If I can do It with only the resources of exploiting vulnerabilities, I couldn't Imagine what the government can (and has done) with their position of power.
