Summary of Big Data (Viktor Mayer-Schonberger and Kenneth Cukier)
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Big Data
is defined as the ability of society to harness massive amounts of information in novel ways to produce useful insights or goods or services of significant value.
In practical terms, Big Data is where we use huge quantities of data to make better predictions based on the fact we identify patterns in the data rather than trying to understand the underlying causes in more detail.
A good example of the usefulness of big data was when the H1N1 flu virus struck in 2009. The traditional approach to tracking a virus was to collect data about doctor’s visits which the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) tabulated and then published a week or two later. Google came up with a different approach. Google suggested the spread of H1N1 could in fact be tracked by the Google searches people with the flu carry out when looking for remedies. Google then analyzed a staggering 450 million different mathematical models to come up with a collection of search terms which correlated with the historical data Google already had relating to the spread of seasonal flu. As a result, health officials could use the Google method to track the spread of H1N1 in real time and respond rapidly rather than waiting a couple of weeks for the CDCP updates.
Big data will be a source of new economic value and innovation in the future. It will also change the way information is analyzed and transform the way society is organized. The big data era which is just beginning will eventually challenge the way everyone lives and interacts with the world.
Big data is all about seeing and understanding the relations within and among pieces of information that, until very recently, we struggled to fully grasp.
