15. You can influence the stories your data tells
by participating in the curation at creation.

How can we help others tell better stories
about us?
Tag your data. Attach emotional metadata
attach to objects.

30. geotagged messages and data
AR can serendipitously
or intentionally reunite
you with people in the
spaces they occupied
through geotagged
digital artifacts

31. Takeaways:
Consider sentimental uses of big data
Design systems for curation at creation
Consider the long-term use of your data
Build serendipitous discovery methods into
your projects
Make plans to pass along your data,
accounts and tech assets
