Data is quickly becoming the planet’s most abundant resource. We The Data believes this data is vibrant with potential for creating positive change by and for the very individuals generating it.
We The Data was born of a partnership between a group of friends, TED Fellows, and some visionaries at Intel Labs. Learn more.

There will potentially be a point where there will be so much “data” about who we are, what we do, how we do it, what we like, dislike, how we think, behave and interact, that information presented to us will cease to be information at all.
Think about that. Do you have a methodology for validating or objectively verifying the contents of your head, or the ideas that are presented to you?
If you are the kind of person who easily buys into ‘cool’ ideas, and consumerist bullshit, my guess would be that you don’t.
