2013 Design Challenge<\/h2>\r\nMaking Data Useful: Improving Your Life, Community, and World<\/strong>\r\n\r\nWe live in a world that is increasingly alive with sensors and data. The big data, sensor networks and transparency movements have left us with a glut of potentially useful free data that is lying fallow. How can we use this to improve life, local community, and the world at large?\r\n\r\nPeople and devices collect and share data both passively\u2014monitoring environmental change\u2014and actively\u2014explicitly capturing and sharing information, combining data with other information, and using in unexpected ways. Today, we are only starting to understand how best to put this data to work to improve our lives and the world around us.\r\n\r\nHow might data\u2014particularly information that makes civic society run, like bus schedules, election cycles, political information, first-hand reporting, volunteer logistics, and sporting and media events\u2014make for a better and more community-oriented place to live?\r\n\r\nHow might this data help us understand the past and present and predict the future with more precision, and how might an individual\u2019s personal data be used to help filter and make information more relevant in different contexts or situations?\r\n\r\nWhat are key problems this data can be used to help solve, what new troubles can we anticipate it creates?\r\n
