The Power of Metadata: Deepak Jagdish and Daniel Smilkov at TEDxCambridge 2013

MIT Media Lab graduate students Deepak Jagdish and Daniel Smilkov share some surprising insights from Immersion, a tool they built to make sense of email metadata. Try out Immersion yourself and learn more about the team behind it at immersion.medi... and learn more about TEDxCambridge at www.tedxcambrid....
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Why the heck are those weirdos in the audience laughing?

[@j.g.8860]

Because the guy on the right just is now learning how to associate words and hand movements and failing super hard. I am so distracted by his hands. If I do not watch and just listen it helps.

Thank you. It is both stirring and sobering.

You know you're too much of a trekkie when Daniel Smilkov keeps reminding you of Walter Koenig.

Remember ~ It is far different if YOU want to see YOUR network of friends versus having the Government gain access to YOU and YOUR network of friends, illegally with a General writ of assistance, all to collect data on YOU and YOUR network of friends just in case they need to prosecute YOU or YOUR friend(s) in the future of a crime YOU or someone in YOUR network of friends “MIGHT” commit.

You and I give them up freely when they have no business being spied on but because of them being in our list , they pay the price . Privacy is an ilusión
