Technology enthusiasts Shel Israel, CEO of SI Associates, and Robert Scoble, startup liaison for open cloud computing company Rackspace, will share their knowledge of how location-based data is changing the tech world and global conceptions of privacy during a joint keynote presentation Oct. 14 at GEOINT 2013 in Tampa, Fla.
Israel and Scoble co-authored Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers, and will introduce their new book, Age of Context: Mobile, Sensors Data & the Future of Privacy at GEOINT 2013.
Age of Context explores the converging technological advancements that predict what people want before they ask for it. Scoble and Israel will tell how these predictive tools have the potential to change online business, and the complex issues surrounding privacy that will continue to surface as technology becomes more advanced than ever been before. Additionally, USGIF has arranged free copies of the book for the first 2,000 GEOINT Symposium attendees. Scoble and Israel will be available in the USGIF booth to sign these copies.
The writing duo has provided trajectory with a preview chapter from Age of Context titled, “Trust: The New Currency.”
Here is an excerpt:
“It leaves people wondering: Is Big Data watching us? The answer is a resounding “Yes.” We think the benefits we gain from contextual technology are worth the cost of the loss of some of our personal information.”
