2) Describe one example of how data science affects your day-to-day life.

Data science significantly influences our daily lives, particularly through personalized
recommendations on platforms like Netflix. One clear example is how Netflix uses data science
to enhance its users’ viewing experience.

On Netflix, every time a user watches, pauses, or skips a show, a huge amount of data is
collected. That would be the type of content viewed, preferred genres, and even the time of day
the user is most active. This information, therefore, joins the data science techniques, such as
machine learning algorithms, which apply patterns and trends in the user's behavior.

For example, if one has been viewing thriller movies often, Netflix recognizes this and makes
recommendations for more thriller movies. Of course, the personalized suggestions do not just
magically appear; they are the result of extensive analysis that is focused on matching the tastes
of users.

This aspect of data science applied to everyday life is a broad one. It saves the user time
by minimizing the effort required in searching for content and makes the use of entertainment
more interactive. It also exposes users to new genres or shows they might have never known
about, therefore adding variety to leisure activities.

Data science allows Netflix and similar platforms to make mundane activities, like choosing
what to watch, easier and more entertaining, thus transforming modern life.
