Having teamed up with Defend Digital Me and The Warren Youth Project to consider how the metaphors we attach to data impacts UK policy, our research into children’s policy papers and discussions about data in parliament identified three metaphor groups most commonly used to describe data and its properties.
In this video, we discuss what those three groups are, how the experiences young people and children had to do with data linked back to those three groups, and how changing the metaphors we use when we talk about data could be key to inspiring better outcomes for the whole of society.
