**Datafication** is a concept used to describe the "quantification of human life through digital information, very often for economic value". (Mejias and Couldry, 2019) Datafication impacts different aspects of human society, from education to healthcare. Social science research on datafication has, inter alia, been influenced by Bruno Latour's work (see Actor Network Theory and Science and Technology Studies). Datafication was important in the BA DS courses "Surveillance Society" and "What is a Digital Society?". In "What is a Digital Society", technological determinism, often linked with the belief in the neutrality of technology, was critically discussed and contrasted with the interdisciplinary approaches of _Science and technology studies (STS)_.

**Datafication** is a concept used to describe the "quantification of human life through digital information, very often for economic value". (Mejias and Couldry, 2019, **add page reference**) Datafication affects different aspects of human society, from education to healthcare. Social science research on datafication has, inter alia, been influenced by Bruno Latour's work. Datafication was important in the BA DS courses "Surveillance Society" and "What is a Digital Society?". In "What is a Digital Society", technological determinism, often linked with the belief in the neutrality of technology, was critically discussed and contrasted with the interdisciplinary approaches of _Science and technology studies (STS)_ (see separate entries on Actor-Network Theory, and Technological Determinism).
