Data Science and Computational Thinking [inc Big Data and Internet of Things]

Let’s skip the part where we talk about how many fancy IoT devices people will have in 5 years. We can also skip the part where we talk about the benefits of these devices.

Why is it that these connected devices are being hacked over and over again?

The list below, while not exhaustive, explains some of the reasons why these new connected devices are so easy to hack and why we’re likely to see more hacks in the future.

1. MVP mindset
2. Usability > security
3. Lack of skills and resources
4. Ship and forget mindset
5. You (the user)
6. Complex supply chain
7. Cybercrime as a service

How do we get people connecting with each other?

insight: Sandy (Alex) Pentland is one of my favorite professors. His work on non verbal communication is very interesting. His articles and videos are listed here on his website: http://web.media.mit.edu/~sandy/

In the universe of computer science, the definition and application of computational thinking is widely acknowledged as a pathway to problem solving, easily transferable to other academic subjects and even everyday life.

Computational thinking (CT) es un proceso orientado a la solución de problemas, particularmente  los relativos a aplicaciones computacionales, pero que no deja de ser útil en otras disciplinas. Google ofrece una serie de recursos para experimentar, ganar destreza y conocimientos en CT, lo cual es vital para la programación de computadoras.
