The Talk
Large scale consumption of information technology has resulted in generation of data in large amounts. The data generated is being observed, studied, monitored and used to change the behaviour of individuals to suit to a particular opinion.
While the advent of the electronic medium at the dawn of the millennium was central for the manufacturing of consent now the social media platforms in a combination with mobile phones are moving to manipulating consent and modifying behaviour. The Talk shall dwell on this theme.
This Talk is in association with P M BHARGAVA FOUNDATION and held to commemorate the memory of Dr P M BHARGAVA, an outstanding public intellectual, scientist and institution builder.
