Episode 2: Data Collection, Health Care, and N Korea

Danny T struggles to make sense of the contradictory nature of data. Data surveillance and collection is oppressive while democratizing, perhaps even liberating. Corporations control information should make us wonder what data is doing to us and our health. Acxiom trades trillions points of data points on us every day that may be used against us in the future unknowingly. Danny blames the business model, not the technology. We conclude this episode by highlighting North Korea's economic potential in rare minerals (yup, North Korea isn't as poor as you think).  Music: "Dub Kong" by CaballoFrom the Free Music ArchivesCC BY NC
