Know Your Dal Pop-up Lecture: Big Data is a Problem, Not a Solution
We're used to the "trendy" topics in technology being solutions; solutions that create their own problems, perhaps, but at least solutions! This talk will provide a quick overview of Big Data, and how and why we have Big Data. By the end, you'll agree it's a problem, you'll know what the real solutions are, and you'll see how we use those solutions in our research.
Mike Smit is an Assistant Professor in the School of Information Management who studies the intersection of people, information, and technology.
Date: Tuesday, October 20
Time: 1 p.m.
Location: Cox Building, Room 164
