BIG Data

What is different about information?
Quantity: how many people can talk to (share with) each other
Type: social, sensors & information
Representation: the “thing that points to another thing” is not human readable anymore
(i.e. a cave painting of an animal=the animal it represents. Binary is abstracted representation for machines, not humans)
Relationships: (power & control)
(more on that in a bit)

How do we cope?

Through social means?

Social media?

Social sensemakingand wayfinding in abundance and complexity

Social spaces and knowledge growth

“Peak Social”

Social and/versusbig-data, machine-driven, patterning [inset buzzword] sensemaking
