Summary

Technology has built the house in which we all live. The house is continually being extended and remodeled. More and more of human life takes place within its walls, so that today there is hardly any human activity that does not occur within this house. All are affected by the design of the house, by the division of its space, by the location of its doors and walls. Compared to people in earlier times, we rarely have a chance to live outside this house. And the house is still changing; it is still being built as well as being demolished.1

—Ursula Franklin
As the house metaphor by Ursula Franklin aptly exemplifies, we are undergoing a wave of datafication practices. If such practices simply continue to evolve without being examined and repaired along the existing path of development, the same issues will continue to accumulate and will more than likely be compounded. Before concluding with an aggregate assessment, the findings from the preceding chapters of this book are summarized below, presenting a complete picture.
