Data data everywhere

This document discusses how data and information sharing has increased dramatically in recent years due to advances in technology. In 60 seconds in 2014 over 2.7 million Google searches were performed, over 252 billion emails were sent, and over 975,000 new Facebook likes were generated. This level of data generation and sharing has implications for how people receive and evaluate news and information. Traditional news sources now compete with user-generated content on social media, where personalization algorithms may filter information based on users' preferences and profiles. The rise of mobile technology and apps has also transformed how people access and share information. These changes raise issues around privacy, filtering of information, and determining the validity and trustworthiness of different sources of news and data.
