The idea of forcing Internet companies to store user data within Brasil is mistaken as to the concerns
of cyber security in Brazil, as well as increase costs and undermine future investments, may cause further uncertainty to the data and the privacy of individuals, as it being here can also be manipulated.
In the case of investments, it is important to recognize that there is an emerging market related to Google, Facebook and Twitter, say analysts and industry executives.
The teacher Ronaldo Lemos (State University of Rio de Janeiro-UERJ), which helped create the laws of internet in the country, said “may end up having the opposite effect than intended, and scare off companies wanting to do business in Brazil,” as the news portal Terra.
Already the rapporteur of the law of the Internet in Brazil, the Marco Civil, Mr PT Alessandro Molon (RJ), said the number of affected companies could be counted “on both hands.”
The modern networking technology, cloud computing depend on both in terms of technology as in investment values of international participation, and confinement in the country will result in costs and shrink the investment markets international investments to be made in the country.
But more serious is that besides not allow control data, may also be used politically depending on whose hands fall control of our “network”.
The markets today are international, and border closures could mean delay.
There are ways to control encrypting messages, and controlling flows regardless of where the data are, in fact this is the internet.

In front of the oil companies continue taking the lead followed by the Royal Dutch Oil Wall Mart Stores, while Samsung appears only in 14th place, with 178.6 billion dollars, five places ahead of Apple in revenue.
As regards profits, oil companies still follow the biggest profit of Royal Dutch, the following Exxon and China National Petroleum.
.
But as to the value of brands, data Best Global Brands, Apple and Google surpassed Coca-Cola, their values estimated at 98.3 and 93.3 billion dollars, since the brand value of the refrigerant has 79.2 bi , but after IBM and Microsoft with 78.8 billion to 59.5 billion value.
The negative surprise is Facebook who occupied the position of 69th. ranking of brands and rose to the position 52. which is still negligible considering the enormous influence that have particularly among young people.
So technology companies follow appreciating and are important when it should think about the future and new developments in the sector

The book Information Anxiety 2, brings the discussion to another level of responsibility of the professional who works with information and we can make this information easier to understand it if it is properly understood and comes in a particular medium, be it the Web , a television or a simple newspaper.

The book is full of examples of infographics, concrete contexts taken from magazines and believe the goal is to inform the reader directly and that this format.
Not a tutorial, or just a conceptual book, some may be disappointed by this aspect, but the concepts are there is, for example, it defines the information architect as “the” individual who organizes the patterns inherent in data, making what is complex into something clear, “consistent with the definition of Claude Shannon, who says the information is that which ‘reduces uncertainty.'”
In the book which is 2005 also found a good definition of empowerment, “means spending rights and responsibilities to employees, giving them a voice in their work as well with the company’s business in general.” (P. 191)
.
The point of this book as the first, is to understand that it reduces anxiety is understanding, and we have choices about what we read and learn.
