Big Data and Data Science Concept – Techbytes by Tim Smith

Big Data and Data Science Concept – Techbytes by Tim Smith

Big Data and Data Science Concept

In the 1800s, significant technological developments took place because of electricity. In the 1900s, petroleum was the driving force of the century. Similarly, data is considered the fuel of the 21st century. Almost every major corporation is dependent on data, which is increasing as per Moore’s Law. 

 

In this TED Talk Tim Smith focuses on the changes that have happened over time in the world of Big Data. The concept of ‘Big Data’ emerged when physicists needed to analyze data in CERN. Initially, it was stored in a large mainframe computer, which changed drastically in the coming years.Big Data is an Elusive Concept -Techbytes by Tim Smith

 

With time, the amount of data increased, and it was stored in physically connected distributed systems around the CERN lab. As you might’ve guessed, this wasn’t an efficient way to store the data as it required heavy physical infrastructure. That gave birth to CERNET, and gradually the internet. It completely disrupted the conventional method of storing and sharing data.
