I have a meeting about this topic tomorrow and I found the article timely. I read the Bloomburg article and went digging for the survey results to share with my team. They are not linked from the Bloomburg article. There are a good number of other news sites that have now re-posted the article, the BBC being on of them. None of them link back to a released study. Does anyone have a link to the original data?
I teach high school, A+ and CCNA, and more than anything else I see that my students need to connect their passions to a vocation. I have some students that love gaming, console and or computer. The more I can demystify the thing that they love doing, blowing up virtual people, the more involved they get. When I show them that they can actually get a job doing things related to this field it sometimes transforms their reason for being at school and as a teacher that is awesome!
I have not read all of this, but some of you with questions on how the actual Data Mining process works might get something out of it. Some of it is over my head, but that is not saying much. Check it out.
