Most often, tech companies are rewarded for giving their customers what they want. But there is a circularity to this notion that bears consideration. Users of apps, for instance, now mostly want what they have been trained to want by… app makers. There’s something wrong with this picture. Let’s start again. You know how they say we use the new technology as a better version of the one that came before? Think “horseless carriage.” But then, at a certain point, humans realize what the new thing can uniquely do (i.e. drive 90 miles per hour for many hours straight) that the older one could not. We are now at that point with digital technology, but few of us have realized it.
But before we get to the utopian spiel—or the dread singularity—let’s also remember that what the new thing can uniquely do, done to excess, can be ruinous. Think all those cars driving at 90 mph. So, it’s not just that we need to discover what digital technology can uniquely do, we also have to see what it has been doing and decide if some sort of correction is in order. Via Ashish Umre

The current buzz and enthusiasm around data is difficult to avoid. Whether it’s the challenges of ‘big data’, the potential of data-driven techniques, or simply the power and clarity of data visualisations; data is inescapably entwined with much of what we do, and the systems and services we provide and use.

I’m a true believer when it comes to qualitative assessment: give me a room full of people and an hour and I’ll gladly do a focus group, but quantitative assessment based on data and metrics? Not so much. In fact, not at all… until I worked on a survey project with Sarah Tudesco, an organizational performance reporting and assessment librarian at Harvard.
