Every mouse click, every keystroke, and every tablet or smart phone
selection that we make helps data collectors paint a picture about who
we are. The digital footprints that individuals quietly and slowly
create with this data trail can be useful to everyone from retailers to
health care professionals to the government. During this interactive
presentation, we will talk about the positive, negative, and uncertain
implications of the era of Big Data, to include critical issues
surrounding individual privacy and security. We will also discuss ways
that individual web users can minimize their online footprint.
