WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF BIG DATA. In 1995 the web contained 15,000 domains Today there are over 390 million 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created DAILY 90% of the world’s data has been created in the last TWO YEARS As Dilbert says, it comes from everywhere… Websites, blogs, social networks, & mobile devices

BIG DATA IS THE NEW GOLD Finding good data from deep within the web is like chasing a feisty woman. It’s incredibly fickle, changeable & difficult to catch. Stealth-like tactics are required to hunt it, reel it in, hang on to it and figure it out. As soon as you do… …it changes again!
