Susan Etlinger (September 2014) argues for the crucial role of cultivating critical thinking skills in the age of big data because “we have the potential to make bad decisions far more quickly, efficiently, and with far greater impact than we did in the past” thanks to the lightening speed at which we can process big data. She encourages data scientists to be clear about their hypotheses and methodologies so we can clearly following their thinking process and know which questions they asked, and didn’t ask, before coming to their conclusions. She also emphasizes the need to be aware of confirmation bias and cautions against making meaning of spurious correlations. [Link] (https://www.b2bnn.com/2015/05/the-top-3-ted-talks-on-big-data/)
