“Information causes change”
Catalysing open data culture
Data as culture→ Ubiquitous data changes human behaviour
Innovation→ transformation from products to services→ scale existing services (e.g. MOOC)→ radically improve data-driven decision-making→ invent entirely new interactions
“the internet is changing the way we think”
