Session: The Future of Data
Data is an actor with an ever-increasing role in our lives. Largely invisible, but used in more and more ways to influence our experiences, data is tracked, gathered, and analyzed throughout our day. We must come to grips with the ever-changing ramifications of the massive analytics of our lives. Part vision and part personal manifesto, this talk will cover the future of privacy, hacking, latent machines, actualized data, data natives, and the end of the user. Certain to be controversial as well as provide context for future data endeavors. This is a hopeful look at where data can take us.
