Security News > 2024 > June > Seeing Like a Data Structure

This is what life is like when we see the world the way a data structure sees the world.

Engineers are transforming data about the world around us into data structures, at massive scale.

As we move toward the future promised by some technologists, our human-based view of the world and that of the data structures embedded in our computing devices will converge.

A pair of augmented-reality glasses may no longer let us see the world unfiltered by data structures but instead dissect and categorize every experience.

Whether as glasses we look through or simply as screens on our devices, reality will be augmented by the data structures that categorize the world around us.

People are already working to exploit the data structures and algorithms that govern our world.
