2. Big Data
Extremely large data sets that may be analysed computationally to reveal
patterns, trends, and associations, especially relating to human behaviour and
interactions
4. Usage of Big Data
Big data refers to data that is so large, fast or complex that it's difficult or impossible to
process using traditional methods.
Big data is the set of technologies created to store, analyse and manage this bulk data, a
macro-tool created to identify patterns in the chaos of this explosion in information in
order to design smart solutions. Today it is used in areas as diverse as medicine,
agriculture, gambling and environmental protection.
5. Real Example of Big Data
Big Data powers the GPS smartphone applications most of us depend on to get from
place to place in the least amount of time. GPS data sources include satellite images
and government agencies. Airplanes generate enormous volumes of data, on the order
of 1,000 gigabytes for transatlantic flights.
