  • What once seemed too complex to control is measured and manipulated.
  • But does the exhibition really help us understand these advances? Consider those outside displays. Some are being measured in real time (like nearby traffic or air quality); others are simulations based on historical data (like credit and debit card transactions).
  • But we get no practical sense of how traffic information might be useful.

      How do we find practical ways to use the information. Great activities for students.
  • What if instead I.B.M. had shown a real-time traffic-management system and how it worked: how traffic flow is affected by the timing of traffic lights, the probabilities of accidents, the presence of bicycle lanes or the types of vehicles driven? That might have been both visually impressive and conceptually intriguing.
  • The exhibition argues that major innovations follow a series of steps: 1) seeing (measuring various phenomena); 2) mapping (organizing information to reveal patterns); 3) understanding (using models to explain complex systems like weather); 4) believing (being convinced that change is possible and necessary); and 5) acting (designing systems that make the world work better).
