Participatory Culture
There's a new App available tomorrow that will "allow people around the world to compare and share their lives over the course of a week." (Smolan). The purpose to this project is inform people just how much data they are putting out into the world about themselves. We do it everyday from each Google search and Facebook post. The data will be collected through users answering survey questions and from the smartphone's GPS and other sensors. This alone will provide an abundance of data about us as a human race along with us... as individuals. The results of the project will be revealed along with an E-book due out in November. So how do you feel about this project? Regardless whether you are interested in participating or not you can be sure your data is already being stored!
