Topic Reading-Vol.1528-6/17/2016

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The trouble with big data?
Too much is not good. This applies to food, drinks, exercise or anything. Now there is another rising problem. Data and information. Companies are trying to gather more data and information that is relevant to their businesses than ever before in human history. That is because recent technologies and investment have made it possible to collect from any part or move of activities or operations, such as purchase records, driving behavior, medical history, sales analysis, operation monitoring, or responses and reactions. Such recent and cumulative information is used to predict the next possible move, reactions or changes and provide better services and products. But how effectively can such information be utilized?
What about photos. Nowadays, more and more photos and videos are taken by smartphones and stored in the cloud. But how valuable those recently and easily taken images are compared to just a few of photos that were taken in memorable occasions?
It seems that what to keep and use is more important than what to get and store.
Enjoy reading and thinking what big data means to you.
