No additional research or works cited page is required. Question A: At ~17:06 in" rel="nofollow">in Deb Roy's talk, he states that the "implications are profound ... whether it's for science, for commerce, for government ... or perhaps most of all, for us as in" rel="nofollow">individuals" As an in" rel="nofollow">individual, what do you believe are the positive and negative implications as it relates to our in" rel="nofollow">increasin" rel="nofollow">ing ability to collect massive amounts of data and "connect the dots" as Roy illustrates? Why? Question B (from Ted Ed): Deb Roy begin" rel="nofollow">ins his talk by suggestin" rel="nofollow">ing, "Imagin" rel="nofollow">ine if you could record your life--everythin" rel="nofollow">ing you said, everythin" rel="nofollow">ing you did, available in" rel="nofollow">in a perfect memory store at your fin" rel="nofollow">ingertips, so you could go back and fin" rel="nofollow">ind memorable moments and relive them, or sift through traces of time and discover patterns in" rel="nofollow">in your own life that previously had gone undiscovered.” Would you want to do this? If yes, what would you hope to recall or discover? Why? If not, why not? Question C (from Ted Ed): In order to probe the engagement properties of public media content, Roy and his colleagues are collectin" rel="nofollow">ing and analyzin" rel="nofollow">ing about three billion social media comments each month. Roy says they're even able to identify key people who seem to exert a lot of in" rel="nofollow">influence over what other people watch on TV and say onlin" rel="nofollow">ine. What do you thin" rel="nofollow">ink of this? Pros and Cons? Question D: In Cesar's talk, he in" rel="nofollow">indicates that he was tired of not rememberin" rel="nofollow">ing thin" rel="nofollow">ings he has done in" rel="nofollow">in his past. As a result, he "has been selectin" rel="nofollow">ing one second of video from every day of his life, and editin" rel="nofollow">ing them together in" rel="nofollow">into a montage that both records his life, and forces him to reevaluate how he approaches each day." If you were to do this (create a montage of one second videos from every day of your life), what criteria would you use to select the one second to in" rel="nofollow">include in" rel="nofollow">in your montage? Do you believe, as Cesar does, that this would force you to reevaluate how you approach each day? Why? If not, why not?
