Been reading up on big data since the first mashup and found this article on big data being our generation's civil rights issue. Personalization is being touted as the future but, as this article states, is it just another word for discrimination as well?

Reading about this has given me a new respect for LinkedIn. It seems like it's the new Facebook (in terms of being a media darling). It also made me think about being a "prosumer" and how LinkedIn creates a win-win situation for both recruiters and users.

Came across this well-written blog that says we should change the way students are assessed in the educational system. For instance, changing the way test questions are shaped can allow a student to think critically, test the student's ability to access resources and experts available online and provide them with practical, real-world experience.

Really interesting read about Instagram disabling its compatibility with Instagram - which officially has nothing to do with it being owned by Facebook. Especially interesting to read about the focus on financial gain. Social media is often hailed as bringing people together - but is it really just a flashy reinforcement of the structures that be?

a review of my dream phone. it keeps selling out in what feels like a matter of seconds. probably because you can buy it unlocked without a contract straight from google, and avoid the evil canadian phone companies! i'm very excited for this next step in mobile phones as it should help alleviate the need to sell your soul to rogers every time you need/want a new phone

We learn a lot about technology in Virtual Organization. Here is an article that speaks to Toronto's potential as a information-technology hotspot for developers. What I find most interesting is that the best medium to interact in this high-stakes, high-information-rich sort of milieu is face-to-face.

Interesting article about the first change to Instagram since Facebook's purchase. They also make interesting comments about how Facebook was more productive when it was a primarily mobile only site, invoking more raw emotion and allowing you to be "more real" on Insta than on other social media sites.

This article is pretty relevant to the readings we have for this week. I found it interesting that despite having many friends on Facebook, the author defines all of his "real" friends by things that they do in face-to-face situations, which doesn't really consider long distance relationships.
