The rise of dataism

Scientia potentia est – knowledge is power, or so the common saying goes. A more modern variant of the phrase may be â€Å"data is power†. Its dataism and its control thats currently the cause of much debate within society and government. With the rise and dominance of social media, the data of individuals across the planet is readily accessible. Want to know what someone wears? The music they listen to? The places they live and work? Where do they eat? Where they’ve been on holiday, and much more? The chances are, youll find most of this out just by taking a quick look at their Facebook profile or Instagram account. And any app on their phone will be capturing this information too. For some, this represents a serious problem with regard to personal data and privacy. To others, however, it represents the beginning of a brighter and more liberated future. And they call this phenomenon dataism. What is dataism? The term â€Å"dataism† first appeared in 2013, when David Brooks wrote an article in the New York Times called â€Å"The Philosophy of Data.† The article itself was an examination of how data was coming to be used over the decade, and how its used to help validate (or invalidate) deeply held assumptions about the world we live in. The term was later picked up by historian Yuval Noah Harari in his 2016 book Homo Deus. Here he took Brooks’ more clinical and scientific imagining of the word â€Å"dataism† and reimagined it in a more religious and existential light. Homo Deus claims that dataism looks at the universe as a system of data streams, and that the value of objects – and people – is determined by their capacity to process data. Once, humans were the most prestigious data crunchers, but now new machines and algorithms are taking our place. To dataists, data and especially big data reign supreme in the cosmos. To paraphrase a popular sci-fi quote, the data must flow. According to Harari, we will soon be in a position where big data algorithms will know people better than they know themselves. A website such as Amazon will track data relating to your purchasing habits – the sorts of things you buy, search, wish list, or even talk about with friends online – and use these to curate your recommended list to you with almost perfect precision. He ends with this rather piercing question: â€Å"What will happen to society, politics, and daily life when non-conscious but highly intelligent algorithms know us better than we know ourselves?† How is dataism relevant? The control and harnessing of information is an important part of many institutions and activities. We’ve already touched upon how big data personalizes people’s shopping experiences online. It also informs the advertisements you’re likely to see. This can range from simply using your IP address to ensuring that you receive adverts from local businesses to more sophisticated measures that track the sorts of things you search for online and offering related products. If you ever find yourself on a Google binge relating to Japan, for example, you can expect to see small banner ads offering cheap Japanese vacations appearing in your browser. Concerns around dataism More seriously, big data is used in political circles. During the 2016 EU Referendum in the UK, controversy arose when Canada-based analytics firm Cambridge Analyctia used the personal data of up to 87million Facebook profiles to launch targeted ads. While to what degree is still being debated, it’s believed by some political commentators that such targeted campaigning helped contribute to a narrow victory for the Leave campaign. Concerns about personal data and its use led the EU to draft and pass its General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). This means companies operating within its jurisdiction must be transparent about how data is collected, used, and distributed. Further, it requires the individual’s consent before use. Or risk a significant $1.6bn fine. This is why we now get constant notices about cookies whenever we land on a website. Virtues of dataism It’s not all gloom and doom, however. The use and tracking of data can be effective in other ways, as well. It’s the use of big data that allows Google Maps to successfully navigate you through congested traffic, for example. And sometimes Google has been able to predict illness outbreaks long before professional medical bodies, simply by noting spikes in how many people have been searching online for its symptoms. Dataists go further, and say that by liberating all our personal data we can assist humanity in other ways. For example, if all our medical statistics were free to search for online, people looking to trial drugs and treatments would need only search â€Å"People with X condition† to find appropriate data. This could speed up research for cures immensely. The more data you have access to, the easier it is to spot patterns and gain insight. Suppose anyone with a penchant for science, innovation, and research had quick and easy access to the world’s data. How empowered would they be? Business vs consumer challenges The big challenge that businesses will face with dataism is the fear of loss of personal privacy. This is the first time in social history that so much personal and private data is in any way accessible to people we don’t know, and the thought can be rather scary. The fears that this data could also be used to exploit and manipulate people, whether by selling them products they do not need or a politician seeking office, are not at all unfounded. Another question that arises is who exactly owns this data? The person to whom it relates, or the companies that collect it? Could Facebook one day, for example, start charging you cash for the freedom to access your own data? Depending on where the laws on data ownership fall, it’s not impossible. Or do we follow the path of dataism, and let this data fly free for anyone and everyone to see and use as they see fit? There are real advantages to open use of data, after all. Businesses can use it to inform their products and adverts more to the tastes of the individual consumer. Easy access to medical information could potentially save lives. Research and innovation becomes immensely easier. Predicting the future of big data Ultimately, it comes down to a question of trust. People are already much more trusting with their data than they used to be. 20 years ago, the notion that you’d announce to the world what restaurant you’re eating at, what activity you’re currently engaged in, or what holiday destination you’ve just arrived at would be unheard of. But in todays age of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, the public documentation of our lives has become the norm. But do the cynics have reason to be mistrustful? Who knows what will happen to our data in future or how it might be used? Whether data is a trapped bird that needs to be set free, or a dangerous beast better kept under a strong lock, only time will tell. Get a grip on big data with a business degree from Hult.

Introduction to World’s religion - 275 Words

Introduction to World's religion (Essay Sample) Content: Introduction to Worldà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s religion Studentà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s Name Institutional Affiliation Introduction Ideally, several news reports found in the Middle East today provide details about tension, conflict, and fighting caused by two warring groups known as the Sunnis and Shia. The Sunni group forms one of the most dominant branches of Islam where 90% of Muslims belong, while Shia constitutes only 10% of the Muslim world (Hazleton, 2010). Initially, these two groups were bonded together before a split occurred on who should take the place of Muhammad. Later on, their differences developed to include both political and philosophical misunderstandings (Fisher, 2013). Since Muhammad had failed to produce a son of his own from his numerous marriages, there was no clear successor left to take his position. The conflicts, tension, and fighting prolonged when the Sunnis proposed that the leadership (the Caliphate) should be within Muhammadà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s clan where there is more Muslim establishment to represent the prophetà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s continuity (Hazleton, 2010). On the contrary, the Shias supported one of the claims brought forward by the husband of Muhammadà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s favorite daughter that insisted that the Caliphateà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s legitimacy only came from God as opposed to the religious establishment. These differences initiated more tension since each group wanted to be more superior and chosen than the other. Furthermore, the Sunnis maintained that the laws governing the societies could only be determined through reference to Koran as w...

Slavery And The Slave Trade - 2968 Words

The history of slavery is long, documented, captured in photos and personal narratives of slaves and slave owners. There are many accounts of how slavery started, the horrific stories of transporting slaves and what they were used for throughout history. To start at the beginning you have to start with how slaves were placed in different countries and continents where they were not born. Most know about the Atlantic slave trade that effected North America, South America and the Caribbean. Slavery existed way before the foundations of America were set in stone. There was slavery in the bible days between the Hebrews and Israelites. Some do not know besides the Atlantic slave trade there was also the Eastern Slave trade.

(discoveringbristol.org) Slaves that were taken into Northern Africa and the Middle East were not always African. Some arrived from the Mediterranean. (Unesco.org staff) Africans were taken from the coast of Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique and Madagascar during the East African Slave Trade. They also hailed from the Savannah area which included Mali, Niger, Chad, Sudan and the Horn of Africa which includes Djibouti, Ethiopia and Somalia and were sold to merchants in Northern Africa and the Middle East. Some of the slave women were married to their masters and had children by them. Slaves soon became a part of the local population. Most plantation in the North Africa, the Middle East and India were spice and food plantations requiring less work from men. In the seventeenth century it was estimated that over ten thousand slaves were sold per year to the Middle East and North Africa. There was a small number of slaves who were sold to the Persian Gulf including countries such as Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Oman and what is now the United Arab of Emirates. The French also found a use in selling slaves to grow sugar plantations on the islands the country owned along the Indian Ocean. Brazil also brought African slaves for assistance in sugar plantations. By the eighteenth century slavery had increased rapidly and were in high demand for

Essay on Neglect of the Elderly - 1202 Words

The Neglect of the Elderly With the growing number of senior citizens in our expanding society, abuse and neglect of the elderly is a widespread issue in our society. Neglect can come in many ugly forms and can be quite horrifying when actually investigated. When we as a society fail to meet the needs of our senior community we are only creating a perhaps dreadful prelude to our own inevitable destiny. Elder neglect is the failure to fulfill obligations to a senior citizen. According to one report, it accounts for 49% of elder abuse cases (Protecting the Older Adult, Nursing, July 2000). Neglect comes in many forms. A caregiver is required to supply sufficient amounts of nourishment, a comfortable shelter, safety,†¦show more content†¦(Litigating the Pressure Sore Case, Lesley Clement, Forum Vol. 30 (6), August 2000). A resident that is bedridden or confined to a wheelchair must be repositioned at least every two hours in order to relieve pressure on specific areas. Bedsores that are neglec ted or untreated can cause tissue to deteriorate becoming painfully infected. Prevention requires adequate staffing putting in time and actual effort. The fact whether the neglect was intentional or not is not the important issue, it is whether the safety of the resident has been compromised as in allowing a resident with Alzheimers to roam unsupervised outside the facility. Staff may be more susceptible to elder abuse if they are stressed by too many responsibilities, are deficient in training, work under deprived conditions or just not suited to care giving in nursing homes. Many elders who are cared for in the homes of their family members, who are responsible for their direct care, are also being abused through neglect. This type of neglect is harder to detect. Friends and members of the family might just chalk up signs of abuse to the fact that the elder might be showing signs of dementia or just basic old age syndrome. Elders may not be able to stand up for themselves in abusi ve conditions especially if they are frail and not thinking, seeing or hearing as well as they used to. They depend on their caregivers to assist them.

The Pathophysiology Of Lyme Disease - 1564 Words

The Pathophysiology of Lyme borreliosis Lyme borreliosis or Lyme disease can be devastating both physically and mentally for victims. The disease is transmitted by a vector, specifically a tick, which infects their host by biting and infecting them with pathological spirochete bacteria known as Borrelia burgdorferi (Muschart Blommaert, 2015). There are several species of Borrelia globally, and as a group, the bacteria are referred to as Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Pearson, 2015). The disease originated from, Lyme Connecticut, of which it was named, after a patient was mistakenly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis when the cause of their disease was B. burgdorferi or Lyme disease (Snow, 2013). Lyme disease is classified as one of the most common and growing vector-born disease in the United States as well as Europe (Snow, 2013). Understanding how Lyme disease progresses through the body as well as the disease’s signs and symptoms are essential to understanding how t o treat the disease and stop it from spreading throughout the body with destructive results. With a disease as potentially devastating as Lyme disease, early treatment is required for a better outcome (Pearson, 2015). This research paper will discuss the pathophysiology of three Lyme conditions known as Lyme arthritis, Lyme neuroborreliosis, and Lyme carditis and provide an overview of the signs and symptoms of Lyme disease and treatments, and how to prevent infection.
