Internet+Mobiles = True information?
The seventh TechnoArk Conference will take place on 27 January 2012 at Sierre, and will examine the equation:
Internet+Mobiles = True information?
Today’s consumers have vast quantities of information at their fingertips via their mobile phones, and more than ever before, they rely on instant information in everyday life. But how can they check the accuracy of the information that they are offered? How can they distinguish between “good” and “bad” data? How can they trust the many different sources of data?
The reliability, accuracy and authenticity of data is a major new issue in information technology and mobile telephony.
For instance, consumers who care about their health regularly search for information about the food they eat or the medication they take. What can they do if the allergy warnings on these products are incorrect, incomplete, or out-of-date?
Users should be able to trust the information that they are offered, whilst also being discriminating and responsible. The opinion of other consumers is also an important assessment tool. Manufacturers nowadays have a duty to demonstrate the traceability of their manufacturing or supply chain to the end consumers of their products.
The conference will provide an overview of a few real-life situations and the opportunity to hear about some state-of-the-art applications that are just reaching the market, via presentations from selected startups about their very latest products and services.
