Hi all. I just wanted to talk about a few books that I'm reading at the moment. I didn't buy these books online or at a bookstore, nor did I get them from my library, I have a friend who has many many books of all kinds and they're all pretty quite interesting. After looking through them the other day when I went round his for a while he gave me a few of them to borrow and read.
Here I'll show what they are and talk a little bit about them and why I want to read them!
Big Data - A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work and Think
Data data and lots more data! It seems our generation is infatuated with data. We can't get through a single day anymore without some kind of data either being accessed or stored on us. On everything we do and buy and eat. What we wear and when we sleep. And the government is using this data to try to better understand us and it could either prove to be our doing or our downfall!
Big Data - A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work and Think, tries to explore the impact that data collection will have on our lives, both in business and in your personal social life. Through data collection, it's said, we'll be able to learn how to fight off deadly diseases, predict even fires and when the best time to fly is (statistically). And how we can use Social Media to identify and spot trends. Which is really cool and that is worth reading alone.
But it goes on to say more than this, it goes on to say how there could be a dark side and a downside to all this data harvesting, that by doing so now, we're unconsciously and unwittingly making all this data available for the machines, for AI that will use it, that could use it, against us. How they could use it to punish people for crimes they haven't yet even committed!
Big Data - A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work and Think is a very fascinating and insightful read into our generations lust for big data.
