database management tools or traditional data
processing applications.
5. It’s Bigger Than Ever
• Traditionally, data was structured and neatly organised in databases
• Post-internet, a proliferation of ‘unstructured data’ is generated by everything
we do online
• Globally, the number of gadgets that can record and transmit data –
smartphones, smart fridges, CCTV cameras and digital sensors- has exploded and
along with it, the volume of data produced
• 90% of all the data in the world today has been created in the past few years
• 2.5 exabytes - 2.5 billion GB - of data was created every day in 2012 (IBM)
• We now need new tools and approaches to understand and use these huge and
complex data sets
7. Collection: Social Media
• Average global internet user spends 2.5 hours on social
media every day

travel and careers

10. Where Is It Stored? The Cloud.
• In the simplest terms, cloud computing means storing and accessing data and
programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. (PC Mag)
11. Did Anyone Ask You?
• In Rio de Janeiro, IBM and the Brazilian government have teamed up to create a
central surveillance hub for the 2014 World Cup
• On Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Gmail, etc, you probably clicked, ‘Agree’, for
the terms and conditions without reading them entirely
• In Boston, citizens have complained about their privacy over the use of licence
plate recognition software
• In Greece, the government uses Google Earth to search for undocumented
swimming pools and then matches that against tax records to find tax offenders.
They have found 16, 974.

behaviour and moods, their gender and how long they spend looking at products
before buying

of data daily, serving hundreds of
thousands of customers: 30 airlines,
emergency services, shippers, utilities,
insurers and developers of many mobile
weather apps

• An election could be significantly influenced: voters are shown certain messages
and not others based on data found in their emails, texts and social media posts
• Who controls the data and tools and where is the legislation and community
engagement?
21. The NSA ‘Bumblehive’
• The US National Security Agency’s huge data centre in Utah can store a
yottabyte of data = one thousand trillion GB
22. Oh Yes, The NSA
• Secrecy prevented checks and balances on its
activity and therefore it has ignored the privacy
rights of hundreds of millions of people
• The NSA collects up to 5 billion cell-phone
location records per day, worldwide without a

cellphone location data can make you suspicious

• Big Data: What is it? = too large, too complex
• How big is Big Data? = 2.5 billion GB of data was created daily in 2012 (IBM)
• How and where is it collected? = social media, consumer data, ‘Quanifiable Self’
• Where is it stored and is it stored safely? = the Cloud (Where’s that?!)
• Your Permission to collect your data = Have you been asked?
• Advantages for businesses and our daily lives = corporate, data scientist,
healthcare, weather, crime
• Possible dangers and risks associated with big data = high school, employability,
NSA, elections
• What can you do? = Live in a log cabin in the forest
28. You’re Supplying the Data
• How do you feel about so many data points being collected about you?
• How do you know that your data is being stored in a safe, protected place?
• What types of data don’t you want to share?
