Futurist Dan Burris writes about "Big Data:"
Over the next five short years the following game-changing technologies will transform how we sell, market, communicate, collaborate, educate, train, innovate, and much more.
Rapid Growth of Big Data. Big Data is a term used to describe the technologies and techniques used to capture and utilize the exponentially increasing streams of data with the goal of bringing enterprise-wide visibility and insights to make rapid critical decisions.
This new level of data integration and analytics will require many new skills and cross-functional buy-in in order to break down the many data and organizational silos that still exist. The rapid increase in data makes this a fast growing hard trend that cannot be ignored.
Some Key Points from author Rick Smolan:
"Like all new tools, Big Data carries the potential for unintended consequences."

Some Key Points from author Rick Smolan:
- Kids are "addicted" to technology and its connections to a bigger world.
- How do you show how an infinite sea of bits and bytes of information flooding cyberspace is affecting everyday lives?
- Hoping it sparks a global conversation about the oceans of data humans are swimming in.
- "We need to have the smartest people on earth aware of, and talking about this."
- …the potential and consequences of which few have even started to contemplate.
- "We crave information the way we crave sex, down into the synapses of our brain." (Nicholas Carr)
- "The world is about to change forever because of this sudden ability to measure and sense the world in real time."
