00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.000
like many of you I enjoy my privacy on the internet so the constant advances

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:12.599
over the last few years and the ability to collect massive amounts of personal

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:19.039
data about me have not really sat that well but is the industry's favorite big

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:21.320
buzzword right now Big Data all bad or

00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:26.599
are we painting an otherwise potentially very useful tool for the advancement of

00:00:23.880 --> 00:00:31.279
society in a bad light because of one aspect of it first let's discuss what

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:35.600
Big Data actually is there are many wildly different definitions of big data

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:40.000
for example while we individuals might Define it as an intrusive threat to our

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:44.440
society and the overall anonymity of the internet corporations might see it as a

00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:48.360
revolution in data processing and Computing but there are at least a few

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:53.160
things that everyone can agree on Wikipedia defines Big Data as any

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.879
collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to

00:00:55.280 --> 00:01:02.480
process using onhand database management tools or traditional data processing

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:06.439
applications I mean that doesn't sound so threatening right so essentially big

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:10.439
data is just a collection of data so large that each individual becomes an

00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:14.640
insignificant number where whoever is in possession of the data often actually

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:19.680
can't make meaningful conclusions about any one person from it and many times

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:24.040
actually the term big data is misused it's turned into a marketing buzzword

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:28.720
with software and it companies stating that their systems are ready for the

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:32.119
challenges that big data provides which is a great way to say absolutely nothing

00:01:30.759 --> 00:01:36.880
about the product while still managing to seem important or relevant in the

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:41.119
current market on top of that as much as many of you guys might not like to hear

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:46.360
this privacy Advocates tend to misuse the term as well they act as though Big

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:51.240
Data only describes user data compiled by sites and services when Big Data

00:01:48.759 --> 00:01:56.119
actually encompasses many more types of data like scientific and business data

00:01:53.759 --> 00:02:00.320
sets for example meteorological data from weather stations and Market data

00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.119
from Financial exchanges all all around the world now before you burn me at the

00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:08.640
stake for being a secret NSA operative for defending the idea of big data I

00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:12.520
mean how else you think I could afford my awesome Lambo right certainly not

00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:18.160
from that YouTube money let's chat a little bit about when Big Data is an

00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:23.480
issue websites that collect and store data about their users for marketing

00:02:20.239 --> 00:02:25.959
purposes can keep a massive amount of

00:02:23.480 --> 00:02:30.560
your personal information on hand for an indefinite period of time and most of

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:34.280
the time the data is not not as well secured as they'd like for you to

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:39.239
believe or personally I'd like to believe it was in addition to that even

00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:44.640
deleting this information from public view often has no impact on their

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:49.519
ability to store it on their servers so yes it's possible that that one

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:54.200
embarrassing picture of you from 2008 will live on in the depths of Facebook

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:58.000
servers Forever This coupled with the massive amount of information sharing

00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:02.120
voluntary or otherwise and data interception that agencies like the NSA

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.760
Carry Out means that your Regional government or I mean really any other

00:03:03.799 --> 00:03:11.280
types of Nefarious characters could potentially have every move you've made

00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:14.640
online on file now for me personally even though I don't do anything illegal

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:18.720
or even questionably legal on the internet if someone were to go through

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.720
every bit of information from the years that I've been using it and cherry-pick

00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:28.080
certain things to paint me in a negative light I'm sure I could end up looking

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:29.480
like a pretty bad dude so let's make a

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:33.959
quick connection here to solidify the idea that we've discussed uh torrenting

00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:38.200
is something that we all know can have an extremely positive impact on the

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:42.360
world it's one of the greatest forms of information sharing but whenever we hear

00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:46.840
anything about torrenting the topic revolves around piracy and its other

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:51.879
unsightly aspects discussion about big data is quite similar it's not in itself

00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:56.079
a bad thing it's a driving force for a lot of great Innovations in science

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:59.959
technology and medicine and yet for the most part we only hear about the

00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:04.079
negatives the main one being the lack of control that we have over our online

00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:08.920
data and the amount of control that large corporate entities do have over it

00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:12.680
so don't blame big data for creating the need to protect your privacy online

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:16.600
blame the companies who collect store and most importantly use it

00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:20.759
inappropriately speaking of blame you know whose fault it is that we have the

00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:25.240
