Digital Native Risks and Opportunities

Big Data Risks and Opportunities
What is the danger of ignoring qualitative aspects of life?
How will big data affect foreign aid or multinational flows?
How might big data improve transparency and corruption, or how might people in power manipulate data?

Big Data Risks and Opportunities
How might the age of big data increase global inequalities as some countries, communities, and organizations are left out of the potential benefits, while others leapfrog into a new era?
