Today, It Seems like all our daily experiences begin or end with data, with our every move leveraged for data collection. We, more or less, accept this. We know that while our lives unfold, our habits, purchases, travels, and comments become an unceasing stream of descriptive bits collected and assessed elsewhere, in the cloud, slightly outside our consciousness, occasionally popping up to help out with location, shopping tips, or spellcheck. It is all an inescapable and intimate, yet also distant and intangible reality of contemporary life. We are awed at the astounding extent of data and the ease with which it all can guide us. We are inspired by data’s potential for problem-solving.
