Big data: Global good or zero-sum arms race? - O'Reilly Radar

If I'm honest, I was checking my email and missed most of it, but I do remember tuning in just in time to hear him say something like "big data is going to have a huge economic impact." I spend most of my days considering how the component pieces of this big data transformation will impact the corporate enterprise. http://radar.oreilly.com/2011/04/big-data-economic-impact.html

Assister à une conférence du Quantifed Self (QS), comme c’était le cas de cette première édition européenne, qui se tenait à Amsterdam, c’est faire l’expérience étrange d’être parmi des gens obnubilés par la mesure de soi et qui interrogent sans cesse ce qu’ils mesurent d’eux-mêmes. C’est être confronté à une multitude de personnes – les “quantifiés” – qui part leurs pratiques mêmes, semblent se distinguer du commun des mortels : “Nous ne sommes pas comme les autres personnes” reconnaissait Gary Wolf en introduction de ces deux jours. Bardés d’outils, d’applications, de techniques de soi et de méthodes, que bien souvent ils inventent en faisant, ces cobayes d’eux-mêmes vous font entrer dans le monde étrange d’une pratique réflexive sur soi-même, visant à faire sens d’une accumulation de données et de chiffres.
