Learning Outcome 2: Integration of Sources
When selecting passages to use for papers I usually go to google scholar or the school database. This allows me to make sure that the sources that I am using are credible and legitimate. Since I have gotten to college my ability to integrate “they say’’ has dramatically improved. For example,
Many people do not believe that the mass sharing of data is a good thing. Allstate Insurance Agency ran a poll on whether or not people are ready for the implication of big data techniques. The results were as expected.
Of 1,000 Americans surveyed this year, 55 percent perceive a “mostly negative” impact from the collection and use of personal information. Two-thirds complain they have little or no control over information collected about them. Three-fifths believe they can’t correct erroneous data. Conducted for the Allstate insurance company and National Journal, and just before the NSA domestic spying became public, the poll found that only 48 percent of Americans trust how governments, cell-phone companies and Internet providers use that information At first this (Price).
I disagree with the point of view that this study portrays because of the significant benefits that big data can have. At first, the concept of big data seems creepy and insecure, but in my opinion big data is a very good thing. Most people only know the basics of big data, and do not see the full spectrum of its benefits. When people hear about big data they think that everyone will be able to access their deepest and darkest secrets, or that the government is going to spy on them. This is not the case.
This is an excerpt from my big data project. Before coming to college I did not even know what a block quote was. Now that I have written my final paper of this semester I have been able to properly introduce, and explain quotes while using aspects of “They Say I Say”.
