The Mass Data Era

The production of mass data is growing unstoppably and this tendency seems to be irreversible in the immediate future. The impact of mass data management is of such great dimensions that there is already talk of the new oil. The fourth industrial revolution has identified one of its most prized raw materials.

“As big data transforms our lives — optimizing, improving, making more efficient, and capturing benefits — what role is left for intuition, faith, uncertainty, and originality?”

European Journalism Centre and Open Knowledge Foundation, 2011

“The digital deluge now sweeping the globe is the equivalent of giving every person living on earth today 320 times as much information as is estimated to have been stored in the Library of Alexandria.”
