What is it?
Big Issues. Big Data. Big Solutions.
Big data exists in just about everything we use and do. It comes from
phones, cars, roads, power lines, waterways, food crates, and
innumerable other items you’d never think of as computers.
This data speaks volumes about our collective behavior and society –
so let’s use it to do something incredible!
IBM invited developers and data enthusiasts to take a deep dive into
real world civic issues using big data and IBM Bluemix’s Analytics for
Hadoop service. They analyzed one of our curated datasets or
brought their own and used Hadoop to create clickable and interactive
data visualizations highlighting insights they found.
