Notes

Becomes• Jennifer Golbeck Lecture – Computer Science “Curly Fries” 11/02/15• TED Talk Lecture about Facebook likes and our online behaviour and how companies can use this information.• First ten years of the web saw it populated mostly by independent business and tech savvy individuals. Now it is mostly filled with
individual user content (YouTube & Social Media)• Facebook has over 1.2 Billion users per month – half of all internet users. This means that we share huge amounts of personal data
online with each other – and strangers. Users seem unaware of how that information can be used by others and analysts to define you and target you.
• CASE STUDY: 15 year old girl was targeted by the Company “Target” because of purchases she made – these included vitamins and a large bag. They used analysis to guess that she was pregnant due to statistical probability. Combined with Behaviour online they decided to send her coupons and vouchers for pregnancy goods. Her family was less than happy as she hadn’t told them yet.
• BEHAVIOUR PATTERNS are Key to online analysis. Everyone who goes online can be profiled by their social networks combining your likes and activity to target the advertising on your page. (Consider pop up adverts down the right hand column on Facebook)
• Paper from the Proceedings of the National Academies – Based on work from Cambridge did a study on Facebook likes and how they may be connected to other likes and your social group online. Using this they can refine a profile of you – NOT from posts, but just from the things you click LIKE on.
• Download the Paper and look at the website from Cambridge it is based on (applymagicsauce.com)• HOMOPHOLY – Definition Love of the same things. Computer analysts use this idea to define our profiles. If we like similar things then
we are similar people. Think of it in terms of viral videos or shared posts – if we share and pass them on them we share personality traits with the original poster.
• Can we control our Data?• Three options• Legally through legislation – would be most effective but would be an issue trying to get a solid and non-political agreement• The Social Network companies to protect us – highly unlikely as our data provides them with an income as they can sell or share the data
with third party companies• Computer Analysts – The same people who create the algorithms that allow this profiling can also provide programmes to protect us and
warn us of the implications of posting or liking certain things online. This is the most likely as it is a good business model and is profitable unlike the other two models.

Let’s try again
• Short Lecture
• Try taking notes now you know how
• Then compare to what you did the first time
![Page 36: “Money” & “Study” Death by PowerPoint Or Death by PowerPoint The Realities of Student Life.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfb61a28abf838c9e53f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Well?
• Remember it’s a skill – you need to work at it!
• Always go back over your notes within a day and re-write them
• Trust me it saves time when you are panicking the night before an exam that you haven’t studied for ;)
