Hi Shellie--
This RSVP came to me - not sure how or why. We aren't involved in this 
lecture at all.
Are you the right person?

>  Abstract: Big Data is typically defined in engineering terms as datasets
>  that grow so large that they become awkward with which to work and
>  analyze. Big Data can also be described in metaphorical terms: as the
>  endless digital grains of sand on an endlessly mutating, ever expanding
>  beach we produce as we move, think and act within cyberspace. Big
>  sensors used to gather climate information, to lunchtime posts on social
>  media sites. From digital pictures and videos posted online, to
>  transaction records of purchases made at groceries stories. From signals
>  emitted unwittingly on our mobile phones, to information buried in the
>  packet headers of our emails. The world of Big Data is, in many ways, a
>  gift to ourselves from society. But there are also many unintended
>  consequences and emergent properties of the world of Big Data, some of
>  which do not portend well for rights, openness, and networking.
