Global Impact

Podcasts This Radio Lab podcast about manipulating video and audio - what happens when "Fake News" could be "Fake Audio" or "Fake Video" Radio Lab's Trust Engineers podcast - How Facebook can experiment on people's wellbeing Radio Lab About Speed of Data and Algorithms - What role did an algorithm have in the financial market collapse? Also touches on the physical Internet. Computer or Human? + Thad - an Invisibilia episode about human and computer interaction. Bit Flip - Radio lab episode that blew. my. mind. It is all about how space rays "flip" bits on electronic devices unintentionally. When it comes to thinking of impact of storing things in binary, this episode makes it really obvious. Articles Internet of things and security article from NPR A flip grid of all types of articles about impact and privacy from Dan Schneider Videos The Coming Swarm from 60 minutes - About automation in the military The Human Face of Big Data - this is a PBS video which was really well done. It is a bit dated but I think it is still relevant. It uses great data visualizations to show how data is used to for companies to make predictions and who owns the data.
