Data Couture

Data has been heralded as the next oil! Given this, it is clear that people are very excited about what data will be able to do for humanity.However, data is very different than oil (obviously). Today's episode, and the slate of episodes this week, work out what we actually mean by calling data a raw material.Of course, data exists, but it exists in a way that all other natural raw materials do not. Namely, data is something purely constructed by humans to understand the world around us. Tune in to the shows this week to consider what this raw material is and how we will use it to change our world!Data Couture is running a Kickstarter Campaign!!!!
