What's so personal about your data?

Join us for an immersive exhibition that engages visitors in a dialogue around data and privacy; our relationship with technology; and how to make informed choices about online life.

21-22 November 2018 @ The Shed, Manchester

9am-4pm

Sponsored by the MMU iSchool

What is personal data in an age when our data is everything but personal? Our websites, apps, social media and ‘smart’ devices all thrive on the same thing that makes tech companies billions – data. Not just any data, but our data.

The Glass Room Experience explores the companies and mechanisms that make our everyday technologies as well as connect the Internet of Things (IoT).

In 2030 there will be an estimated 125 billion connected devices – 14 for each person. That’s a lot of smart toothbrushes. Will all these new technologies really make our lives more efficient, healthier and safer?
