Lunchtime talk: Let the computer help you!

A computer can help people do work, but not if they don't let it. There are many common ways that people get in the way of the help that a computer could give them. One cause is lack of trust: people don't always trust a computer to do the work correctly, so they'd rather do it manually. Another cause is lack of training. They naturally think and work like human beings and not like computers, and they aren't taught how computers' capabilities are different from theirs.

This brief talk by Chris Gray will begin to get people thinking about how they can work with data in a way that makes it easier for computers to help.
