Dorothea Salo – The Data Deluge: Privacy in a Connected World

UW–Superior hosted Dorothea Salo for the first part of the Data Deluge: Privacy in a Connected World series to discuss How Do We Not Be Facebook?  Dorothea Salo teaches about digital information in the iSchool at UW-Madison. She has also built “Recover Analog and Digital Data” (RADD) to save personal, family, and community history in Wisconsin from decaying 20th-century media such as VHS tapes and floppy disks. The talk consisted of an hour long presentation and a rousing half hour of questions from our in-person and virtual audiences. This event, sponsored by the Tommy G. Thompson Center for Public Leadership, was part of a speaker series discussing the timely issues of data and privacy in the digital age.
