> 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.
