I love TED talks and this is one of the
reasons Why
Why
social media “likes” say more than you might think??
Much can be done with online data. But did you
know that computer wonks once determined that liking a Facebook page about
curly fries means you're also intelligent? Really. Computer scientist Jennifer
Golbeck explains how this came about, how some applications of the technology
are not so benign — and why she thinks we should return the control of
information to its rightful owners.
This talk was presented to a local audience at
TEDxMidAtlantic 2013, an independent event.
Computer scientist
As the director of the Human-Computer
Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland, Jennifer Golbeck studies how
people use social media — and thinks about ways to improve their interactions
