The Rapid Growth of Global Data

From companies to consumers, people have an insatiable appetite for data and all it can do. We are not only depending on data for movie recommendations and gift ideas but are pushing hard on data for multidisciplinary climate research and energy exploration, roads and buildings that adapt to their environment, more predictive healthcare, new ways to detect fraud, and keeping abreast of consumer sentiment and behavior. There are all sorts of new data and new uses. The data feast is on, and not likely to stop any time soon.
