Apply different question formats as suggested here below from the survey answered in class Only replicate questions 1, 5-8, 11 & 16 (all together 7 questions only) Submit and send me the survey URL (must be something similar to [] )

I will then check if you could successfully replicate the questions the same way as requested

Further i will send you a cvs file from the results from our combined survey done in class and request you to make a A4 analysis of only Q 1& 2 and Part 1 of the survey on Economic Impact on IMI student studying in Luzern. You can be showing off your analytical skills and send me a summarized cool report with analysis, suggestions, statistics, calculations and results, eventually visuals. Just make it real and relevant at a BA level. (like if you would already working with Luzern Tourism and such information of course would be crutial for you.
 * ANALYZE THE RAW DATA OF THE SURVEY DONE IN CLASS**
 * A T T E N T I O N. I DONT ASK YOU TO SIMPLY GET ALL THE DATA OUT AND SEND THEM BACK TO ME STUCTURED. WHAT I WANT IS THAT YOU SCROLL OVER THE WHOLE DATA AND COME UP WITH CONCLUSIONS AND EVENTUAL PATTERNS WITHIN A 1 PAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ANALYSIS. A BOSS WANTS TO GET AN OVERVIEW AND NOT READ THROUGH ALL THE DATA. LOOK ONLY AT PART 1 DATA AND OF COURSE COMBINED WITH Q1 & 2**

David McCandless turns complex data sets (like worldwide military spending, media buzz, Facebook status updates) into beautiful, simple diagrams that tease out unseen patterns and connections. Good design, he suggests, is the best way to navigate information glut -- and it may just change the way we see the world.

Gary Flake demos Pivot, a new way to browse and arrange massive amounts of images and data online. Built on breakthrough Seadragon technology, it enables spectacular zooms in and out of web databases, and the discovery of patterns and links invisible in standard web browsing.

Wolfram|Alpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and an ever-growing collection of data to compute the answers to your questions and calculations.

In this video, Wolfram|Alpha creator Stephen Wolfram gives a quick introduction to the computational knowledge engine. Part 2 of his introduction can be viewed here:

Course outline

The information Age leads to more and more data. Web2.0 has even multiplied this. Why. because every used becames as well content provider. Mobile technologies bring data further down to the street. Data upload to the Internet is not only text but sounds and movies. This leads to a huge amount of rather unstructured data which is for most of the time not usable. But where we today talk only smart pads and phones we experience more and more just common “things” like fridges, tvs and even café machines to be come data provider and linked to the www. See for example the Swiss Jura at   [] Internet Connectivity - Internetfähige Verbindung: die IMPRESSA F90/F9 kommuniziert auf Wunsch mit dem Internet. Dies erleichtert Ihnen das Speichern von neuen Kaffeearomen auf Ihrer IMPRESSA. How important it is to cleverly organize, structure, reorganize and re-link your data you could eventually easily find out doing your data analysis exercise for today If you see the internet envolving you ask yourself how can you make best use of all this data which can be freely access out there. The creator of the web as we know it Tim Berners Lee is currently involved in a huge project which will define the web as we know it (some call this the Web3.0) So far the web was a storage place of a huge amount of content stored on webpages written in html. Using a search engine you can get a list of websites containing what you are looking for, but most of the times it still will not get you the answer you requested Watch [] Internet Semantic Web Web 3.0 SO it means yes we gained a lot through the Internet and even more so through the Web2.0 and all social content BUT can we access it in a intelligent way easily? Try it out, you need to know an economical value of for example the GDP (countrys earnings) of france and Italy compared. Go to Google and type “what is the gdp of france / Italy” and see what you get Ok does not really help, get it to Wikipedia and you will see bits and pieces or what you ask for like a link to the economic data of Italy. Therefore you will correctly guess that the data is there, somewhere in the huge spaces of the www. Now try the same with search engine Wolfram alpha [|http://www.wolframalpha.com] Or try gdp vs. railway lengths in Europe Or type in “Lukas” to see the popularity of the name Lukas over time Or compare “Lukas Heidi” Or type ISS for international space station and compare to what wiki would produce, loads of text compared to analytical data. See here a movie on a semantic search engine like wolfram alpha which differs from google and alikes quite a lot [] ! In HD   so one development is now to structure all this data amount but as you could see from your objective done for today, having the data does still not lead to really trends or knowing the future. But again the digital world can help. You remember the Seadragon project which rebuilds a 3D model of Notredam based on flickr images? See here one visual application of it  [] or then the one from notredam is actually downloadable and can be used for your own purpose (photosync) as very nicely used from chen fei at [] Now this as evolved and further developed to help as well to look at data and numbers in a totally different way This project is called Pivot and same like photosync it’s a free download from Microsoft labs at [] See TED movie from Gery Flake from TED (stored HD version) A next movie will have a metaphor used which says DATA is the NEW OIL (what could that mean) but the speaker turns it differently into Data is the new soil Data can be used as a soil for building new ideas especially once it can be visualized or but into great infographics like for example this one [] or here on chinas investement over time [] so lets look at another ted movie David McCandless turns complex data sets into infographics (stored HD version)
