‘Amazon CTO: Big Data May Also Lead To Big Problems’ – ‘ReadWrite’
Matt Asay says, “The machines have taken over; the future of the Internet of Things is already here. Across a dizzying array of applications, machines are generating copious quantities of data, most of it being pushed to the cloud for storage, processing and analysis.
As Amazon CTO Werner Vogels told attendees at the MongoDB World conference, however, we may not always like the consequences of the Big Data that we’re producing.
Big Data? Big Deal
Data today is very big, but not because it resides on mammoth mainframes or resides on huge, centralized databases. Nor is it big because any particularly large company is creating it. It’s big, rather, because we live in a new machine age, with a vast proliferation of machines emitting data in volumes and variety the world has never seen”.
