“The Impact of Smart Dust on Data Collection and Usage in Business and Society” “Balancing Privacy and Efficiency: Exploring the Implications of Smart Dust Implementation in Cities”
The miniaturization of electronics along with the Internet is paving the way for a “network of things”. Future networks will consist of tiny wireless microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS) capable of sensing and transmitting data from anywhere to anywhere.
These sensors, called “smart dust” or “data motes” contain computing circuits, cameras, a self-contained power supply and wireless communications technology. Each data mote is capable of gathering data, running computations and communicating information to other motes up to a 1,000 feet away. With continued breakthroughs in chip fabrication, motes could eventually become small electronic sensors the size of a grain of sand.
The embedded video below provides an overview behind the concept of “Smart Dust”.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
Businesses and individuals already collect a massive amount data but only about 35% of the information collected is used. Smart Dust will enable businesses and individuals to collect a great deal more.
How will companies/individuals need to adapt in order to make sense of volumes of new information Smart Dust will allow them to collect?
There are few policies in place regarding data collection and usage. Businesses and individuals are largely expected to “self-govern” their collection/use of data.
Many are concerned about privacy issues as well as the ethical use of data. Is the potential for learning and understanding more about business and/or society worth the concerns regarding privacy?
One major city is using data motes to track and study homelessness. A NFL team is considering using data motes to track the movement of fans throughout the stadium on game days to better understand/plan changes to building resources including bathroom facilities, concession stands, entrances/exits, etc.
There are endless potential societal, scientific, medical and business applications for “smart dust”. What useful implementation of smart dust can you imagine?

1.Companies and individuals will need to adapt by implementing efficient data management systems, such as data analytics tools and machine learning algorithms, to process and analyze the large volumes of information collected through Smart Dust. They may also need to invest in skilled data scientists and IT infrastructure to effectively utilize the increased data for decision-making and problem-solving.
2.The potential for learning and understanding more about business and society through increased data collection is valuable, but it must be balanced with privacy concerns and ethical considerations. Implementing robust privacy policies, ensuring data anonymity, and obtaining informed consent can help mitigate these concerns and preserve the benefits of data-driven insights.
3.One useful implementation of smart dust could be in the field of environmental monitoring. By deploying smart dust sensors in various locations, it could enable real-time tracking and analysis of air quality, temperature, humidity, and other environmental factors. This data could help in identifying pollution sources, managing climate change impacts, and improving public health.

Being that Smart Dust is essentially an invisible network that intercommunicates information that is being processed, companies/individuals need to adapt to make sense of the new information by creating a larger, more sophisticated system that will gather all sorts of information based on demographic, geography. For it to work, the system will have to be able to personalize/narrow information based on the person, or company it’s processing.
Yes, there is potential for more learning and understanding about business/and or society regarding privacy because at the end of the video, it was stated it can really help the infrastructure/development of cities, from potholes, collapsing bridges, to flow of traffic. But, once it processes your face in public, does it share your information with other people or institutions, will it ask the individual whether they want their face scanned? There’s a lot of ways the system can cross the boundaries of personal privacy.
A useful implantation I can think of for Smart Dust, is being able to scan a person’s medical history, the medication they’ve on in the past, allergens, and disease or condition that may be not physically seen, that way when patients walk into the hospitals it will be less of a wait time for both parties. I would also being able to differentiate between twins, triplets, or quadruplets especially when they’re identical, it wouldn’t be good for the system to mistake one person’s face over another. -

Exploring the Fascinating World of Social Development, Social Cognition, and Peer Relationships in Infants and Children
Social development, social cognition and peer relationships contain many powerful topics, theories, and concepts about how and why infants, children, and adolescents act they way they do when in the presence of others. Thus, there is SO much interesting to think about and discuss in this social aspect of infant and child psychology…I have provided a ton of readings and videos, for folks to do deeper dives into the areas they find most interesting. So, as part of the idea of metacognition concepts, students will get free rein in this discussion board assignment. For this DB, I want folks to have fun while being able to talk about things they found most interesting. For your main post, identify the top two topics, concepts, ideas, etc. that you found most interesting from our study of social development, social cognition and peer relationships and discuss them in a main post of at least 150 words -PER TOPIC- (please be sure to include the word count in your DB). – Remember that you will not be able to see others’ posts until you post your main response. All your writings must be in your own words. Successful integration (only in your own words, of course 🙂 of important terms, concepts, and theories from the many resources from these past weeks will improve chances for higher scores. (20 points). Please underline the important terms. Then, you will post at least one reply post to a classmate’s main post, but you must respond to a topic different than the two you selected, with a minimum of 100 words per reply post (10 points)

“Reflecting on My Seminar Experience: A Letter to My Professor”
Individual Post-Seminar Self-Reflection – Guiding Questions
For this self-reflection, we are interested in how, where, and when significant (meaningful) learning
happened for you while designing, building, or facilitating your seminar with your group. As such, the
self-reflection should be completed only after the seminar has been delivered.
Write a short letter, addressed to your course professor, that reflects your work on the seminar. Consider
all work you did on the assignment; the way(s) in which you engaged with your peers and their work
(e.g., feedback and support); and, how you met your own learning goals. Be sure to provide examples for
points you choose to speak to.
The following guiding questions will be helpful as you reflect on your group’s seminar.
• What epiphanies did you have? (i.e., discoveries, realizations, intuitive ‘ah-ha’ moments or
understanding of something that was particularly illuminating or striking)
• What learning experience(s) did you have that were not anticipated? What learning
experience(s) did you have that I (as your course professor) may not necessarily see or know
about otherwise?
• In what way(s) did learning about this topic in nursing history change your mind about
something? How was this significant for you? (Explain)
• What did (or do) you struggle with because of working on this seminar?
• What are you particularly proud of about your seminar? Describe anything significant you think
you missed.
• Using the assignment grading rubric indicators as a baseline, what grade would you give your
group for the work on the assignment, and why?
