# Applications and Social Impact
|
||||
|
||||
## Applications of Data Mining
|
||||
Data mining is used everywhere!
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Healthcare**: Predicting diseases, finding side effects of drugs.
|
||||
2. **Retail (Market Basket Analysis)**: Placing Bread near Butter to increase sales.
|
||||
3. **Finance**: Detecting credit card fraud, approving loans.
|
||||
4. **Education**: Tracking student performance to help them improve.
|
||||
5. **Crime**: Identifying crime hotspots and predicting criminal behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
## Social Impact and Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### Positive Impact
|
||||
- **Convenience**: Personalized recommendations save time.
|
||||
- **Safety**: Fraud detection and medical diagnosis save money and lives.
|
||||
|
||||
### Negative Impact (Ethical Issues)
|
||||
1. **Privacy Invasion**: Companies know too much about you.
|
||||
2. **Discrimination**: Profiling can lead to unfair treatment (e.g., denying loans based on where you live).
|
||||
3. **Security**: Large databases can be hacked (Data Breaches).
|
||||
4. **Manipulation**: Targeted ads can influence your behavior or political views.
