Introduction Big Data is a term used to refer to extremely large and complex data sets that have grown beyond the ability to manage and analyse them with traditional data processing tools. However, Big Data contains a lot of valuable information which if extracted successfully, it will help a lot for business, scientific research, to predict the upcoming epidemic and even determining traffic conditions in real time. Therefore, these data must be collected, organized, storage, search, sharing in a different way than usual. In this article, invite you and learn about Big Data, methods people use to exploit it and how it helps our life. What is Big data? Defination As noted above , Big Data that is a collection of data capacity in excess of those assumed applications and traditional tools . Size of Big Data is increasing day by day , and by 2012 , it size was estimated around a few dozen terabytes to multiple petabytes ( 1 petabyte = 1024 terabytes ) only for a set of data only. In 2001 , Doug Laney analyst firm META Group ( now the research company Gartner ) has said that the challenges and opportunities in data growth can be described in three dimensions : increased the amount ( volume ) , increasing the speed ( velocity ) and increased in variety ( variety ) . Now Gartner , along with many other companies and organizations in the field of information technology continue to use the " 3V " to be defined Big Data . By 2012 , Gartner added that apart from Big Data on the remaining three properties to " require new forms of treatment to help to make decisions , to explore deep into things / events and optimize the workflow " . We can take the experiments of large particle accelerator ( LHC ) in Europe as an example of Bi... ... middle of paper ... ...rces of Big Data . This huge amount of data possible for researchers to know the consumer behavior of customers , thereby refining the Internet of Things devices more suitable , we began serving daily lives of us more effectively . It can also be used for the production , thereby reducing human involvement . In the words of Daniel Kaufman predicted it " will do little more human " by Big Data . Conclusion In short, the Big Data challenges for organizations and enterprises in today's digital age. Once mastered big data, they will have greater chances of success in today's competitive environment, the world would benefit more from the extracted information more accurately, more useful lower costs. Still the criticism revolves around Big Data, however, the field is still very new and we'll see in future Big Data will evolve like. References
This essay will explore the varied criteria attached to the definition of Big Science. With such a vast array of opinions on the subject, an attempt will be made to simplify and rationalise a specific definition. Examples of The Manhattan Project and the research conducted at CERN will be investigated to this end, and the former will be examined for its perceived effect on Big Science.
As the technology developing, everything becomes computable. And when people realizing the importance of the Internet of Things, more and more data is collected. Analyzing such amount of data becomes a big challenge for modern people. As a very important component of our life, internet becomes indispensable. Data sharing between multiple users becomes more popular. It seems our life will stop if without the internet. The user devices becomes much lighter, most computing and data storage are separated with remote operations. Distributed system becomes more and more useful for our life.

One of the biggest problems that affect everyone is data aggregation. The more the technology develop, the powerful and dangerous it gets. Today there are many companies that aggregate a lot of information about us. Those companies gathering our data from different sources, which create a detailed record about us. Since all services have been computerized whether it is handled directly or indirectly through computers, there is no way to hide your information. We used computers, because they are faster, better, and accurate more that any human being. It solved many problems; however, it created new ones. Data does not means anything if it stands alone, because it is only recoded facts and figure, yet when it organized and sorted, it become information. These transformed information. Data aggregation raises many questions such as, who is benefiting from data aggregation? What is the impact on us (the users)? In this paper I will discuses data aggregation and the ethics and legal issues that affect us.
Information technology has advanced in multiple ways in society, where organizations has implement the structure into their work environment. Industries have outsource their manufacturing to other places in the world and rely on telecommunication to keep the marketing. The geographic distribution has changed significantly by reducing the distance it takes to complete an operation, due to information technology. These are just a couple of examples of how this advanced technology has reshape our society and continuing.
If auditors can look at a complete population, they may not have a great defense if they missed a “smoking gun” since they looked at all the data (Alles and Glen). However, this data may not be valid which raises the importance of the auditor understanding where the data came from and how reliable it is. Not only this, it will be interesting to see how standards consider big data evidence. While it most likely will not be as reliable as confirmations, it would be a challenge to figure out how much the auditors could rely on it. Furthermore, higher education would most likely play a role in helping their graduates understand data and how to use technology to be not only more efficient but also ensure they are able to use sound professional judgement while using big data.
Companies have transformed technology from a supporting tool into a strategic weapon.”(Davenport, 2006) In business research, technology has become an essential means that many organizations use in their daily operations. According to the article, Analytics is a major technological tool used. It is described as “the extensive use of data, statistical and quantitative analysis, explanatory and predictive models, and fact-based management to drive decisions and actions."(Davenport, 2006) Data is compiled to enhance business practices. When samples are taken, they are used to examine research and understand how to solve problems or why situations are as they are. Furthermore, in this article, Thomas Davenport discusses analytics from a business standpoint. He refers to organizations that have been successful in their usage of data and statistical analysis. In addition, he also discusses how data and statistics can be vital in the efforts to improve the operations of businesses.
In today’s society, technology has become more advanced than the human’s mind. Companies want to make sure that their information systems stay up-to-date with the rapidly growing technology. It is very important to senior-level executives and board of directions of companies that their systems can produce the right and best information for their company to result in a greater outcome and new organizational capabilities. Big data and data analytics are one of those important factors that contribute to a successful company and their updated software and information systems.
The Internet, a tool used by most of the population every day, collects its data thanks to the recompilation of data provided by servers and transmitted by satellites. Some of this information is provided by NASA funded projects. According to the NASA Spin Off page, NASA’s Earth Observing System Data and Information System collects and archives information of the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and vegetation on a daily basis. The massive amount of data accumulated has reached 4.5 petabytes. That’s equivalent to completely filling 90 million four-drawer file cabinets with paper.
Currently the world has a wealth of data, stored all over the planet (the Internet and Web are prime examples), but it is needed to be understand that data. It has been stated that the amount of data doubles approximately

Big data is a concept that has been misunderstood therefore I will be writing this paper with the intentions of thoroughly discussing this technological concept and all its dimensions with regard to what constitutes big data and how the term came about. The rapid innovations in Information Technology have brought about the realisation of big data. The concept of big data is complex and has different connotations but I intend to clarify its functions. Big data refers to the concept of a collection of large and complex amounts of data that are found extremely difficult to notate or even process by most on-hand devices and database technologies.
Humans can expand their knowledge to adapt the changing environment. To do that they must “learn”. Learning can be simply defined as the acquisition of knowledge or skills through study, experience, or being taught. Although learning is an easy task for most of the people, to acquire new knowledge or skills from data is too hard and complicated for machines. Moreover, the intelligence level of a machine is directly relevant to its learning capability. The study of machine learning tries to deal with this complicated task. In other words, machine learning is the branch of artificial intelligence that tries to find an answer to this question: how to make computer learn?
