This Week in EID
All
of the EID articles this week were technology related. We ran the gamut from smart cars, web sites,
user interface design, and big data.
In a
very rare situation, there was just a minimal reference to self-delusion. We
trust the medical recommendations we read on hospital web sites because we want
to have faith in their honesty. Otherwise, how would you handle actually going
to one for care? If you had to second
guess their motives for every treatment, it would drive you nuts. Of course, when you see the bill at the end,
even if it goes to your insurance company (the so–called Explanation of
Benefits), it is amazing how much and how many things they charge for.
The
other article I want to specifically point out is the one on adding human curation to big data recommendations.
Many people put all of their trust in technology. Others put all of their trust in people. But as usual, the middle path works best.
Have
a great weekend.
