Introduce
Some students are primarily concerned about data ethics, others are excited about data science as a new evolution in knowledge, but all are interested in how data science is changing our everyday lives.
So What is This About?
The richness and importance of the information conveyed by data has led to a rapid increase in the influence of data on individuals and society. Data of various kinds, such as the enormous data collections on the Internet, has become omnipresent in virtually all aspects of our society. Digital data has become the key to innovations in both social and scientific domains ranging from energy, economy, health and climate to bioinformatics and web science.
