This morning, Peter Hirshberg opened Under the Radar with a mind-opening presentation about visualizing mobile data… What real time data means, what our ‘things’ know about us, how we communicate with one another – and what all of this data means about us as humans.

Digging into data collected by MIT as well as a history lesson (and reminder that Marshall McLuhan was smack-on about media, global villages, privacy and convenience), Peter talked about the implicit and explicit data collected in our mobile world.

Watch the video here. Apologies for the highs and lows in audio – seems the audio from Peter’s microphone and the volume from his presentation aren’t as well-balanced in the recording as we’d like. I’ll see if we can tweak the levels and updload a new version soon.

Still – you can’t beat this presentation. It was amazing…
