DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Wesley Doorsamy (University of Johannesburg)\nFrom a
  technological perspective\, each of the previous industrial revolutions c
 ould be characterised according to some unique features. While the Fourth 
 Industrial Revolution is characterised by a confluence of technologies\, d
 ata is seemingly a distinct feature of 4IR’s DNA. Data is considered by 
 many to be the new gold and true invisible hand behind 4IR. With natural\,
  human and capital resources’ scarcity and constraints being felt now mo
 re than ever\, data is potentially a critical feedstock for economic devel
 opment and driver for knowledge generation. This talk focuses on how data\
 , together with technological development\, have and will continue to brin
 g about deep sociological and economic impacts. These impacts are analysed
  through a technological lens aimed at stimulating discourse around the ro
 le of data in society.\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event/171/contributio
