Big data is about data,
plain and simple
Yes, you can add all sorts of adjectives
when talking about “big” data, but
at the end of the day,
it’s all data…
25. @geworpene
The Internet of Things is about
data, devices, and connectivity
Data – big and small – is front and center in the
IoT world of connected devices.
26. @geworpene
What’s the buzz?
The Internet of Things revolves around increased
machine-to-machine communication; it’s built on cloud
computing and networks of data-gathering sensors; it’s
mobile, virtual, and instantaneous connection; and they
say it’s going to make everything in our lives from
streetlights to seaports “smart.”
28. My supplies will run

my order.
