Why doesn’t my phone help my friends? Must ‘smart’ machines be so rude?
If we invited our devices to dance, why couldn’t they accept?
If our digital devices were truly smart, they would help us. Inspiring human and machine creativity would be their purpose. They would understand what we want to do, but not bother us with trivia that our machines should be taking care of. They’re the machines with nothing else to do, while we are all kind of busy these days. Right?

Impressions
As large as yesterday’s audience was, today’s was even bigger. The keynotes were standing room only and there was an overflow room for those who did not fit into the keynote ballroom. today seemed to have more of a corporate feel to it with the presentations sounding more like advertisements as times than the more objective knowledge sharing keynotes at yesterday’s keynotes.

First day thoughts on the O’Reilly Strata Conference: Making Data Work 2012 held in Santa Clara, CA
Day 1 – Wednesday February 29, 2012
First impressions
Compared to the inaugural New York City conference (2011), this event dwarfs it. Easily four times the attendees, double the sessions and about twice the exhibitors. The discussions have moved from Data Scientists to include Data Teams. Data visualization has received a stronger representation with a focus on effective visualizations, not just attractive ones. Systemic, enterprise thinking has also received a spotlight far greater than the inaugural event. The next New York Strata event (Fall 2012) will be the first conference that will join both the Strata conference and the formerly independently run Hadoop conference. As a further point of reference to the changes from last year’s event to this one, EMC, who had just 3 attendees at last year’s event has over 20 at this event as well as a massive space in the exhibit hall.
Highlights and key themes from the day’s sessions
