05 How Data Has Transformed Our Way of Living
11/01/22 • 69 min
The Charlies are joined by Shauna Sprague to dive into how data (or the lack of data) transforms how we live our lives. The data that we collect is imperfect, and because of the imperfect data we seem to stress or fall into habits that accommodate this lack of data. For example: degrees = education, health symptoms = analysis, and many other aspects of your daily life that you did not realize the lack of data had an effect.

06 Data for Good
What does it truly mean to use "data for good"? The Charlies' dive into this topic by looking at the meaning of "data for good" from a personal perspective and from a community level approach. They also look at what is "data for evil" and how companies also are using "data for good" which may be for profit, but it may still be for good.
So is there hope? Can we as a society use "data for good" to solve the hard problems in our community? Listen in to find out if the Charlies' solve this dilemma.
