Supernova 2009 - Taking Data Seriously - Andreas Weigend

http://www.weigend.com - Andreas Weigend's presentation at Supernova 2009 titled "Taking Data Seriously". The Supernova conference explores the transformation of computing, communications, business, and society in the Network Age. Now in its eighth year, Supernova brings together approximately 500 leading executives, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, government officials, and business practitioners to make connections, discuss emerging trends, and discover innovative new ideas and companies.

Networks are central instruments of the changes sweeping our world and networks themselves must change to address novel demands. Device innovations such as smartphones and netbooks, the growing power of open source and open standards, social networking in all its forms, the rise of location awareness, the tidal wave of online video, the assembly of vast pools of cloud computing power, and the proliferation of new kinds of organizations all require network infrastructure but not necessarily todays infrastructure.

Social Data Revolution by Andreas Weigend (Andreas S. Weigend, Ph.D.). Mankind is transformed by the data created by individuals. Information overload has become more serious than ever. Social discovery is the new search. What applications can we build to create relevant meaning in our lives?
