Is big data still a thing? It is ubiquitous, and as time passes by it will get even tougher for companies to understand what big data really is. Having said, this field will continue to evolve and change the way we foresee things.
Data is everywhere. We’re already generating tons and tons of data every day through social media sites, videos, cellphones GPS signals, text messages, web logs, transactions records, archives, military surveillance, e-commerce, scientific research, digital images and many others. Do you know how much this amounts to? The data generated through these mediums can amount to Quintilian bytes of data. The kind of data generated likewise is called Big Data. To be specific we’re already generating over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day and by 2020, every single person will be generating 1.7MB of data. This pace will only keep rising. And as years go by we will still have job opportunities for tech pros looking to switch their career into a big data professional.
