We have seen many Big Data infographics that discussed how complex and large data sets are changing the way we live, the way we process information and the way we operate in the world. Vouchercloud recently took a deeper look into how Big Data evolves and adapts, and the research they gathered produced their Everyday Big Data infographic below, detailing many ways how Big Data will improve your life.
As highlighted every day we create 2.5 quintillion bytes of data and this has benefits as well as challenges. Big Data as we know it is very complex in itself and so some of the challenges it faces through analysis, curation, storage, transfer, security, capture and visualisation can make it difficult to break it down but vouchercloud have collated research to break it down for you.
In 1992 there was 100 GB of data per a day and it is predicted that in 2018 there will be 50,000 GB per a second; an astonishing progress. The speed at which data is processing is flashing by us. But how exactly does this benefit us in our daily lives?
Health and well-being has entered the self-tracking phenomenon through data via sensors and apps that allow health to be improved on the move. Big data enables money saving to increase through match market offers online that provides consumers with more accessibility to discount living. Travel is improved via customer data that improves customer service and even transport has improved our urban living through real-time data capture as detailed in the Big Data Infographic. But there is more, fire departments can determine the risk for all buildings and streets in order to ensure that fire services are properly equipped depending on the risk they face. Big Data can even help to save waste and improve your local recycling services.
Due to Big Data economic development is improving, crime rates are seeing reductions and retail is able to boom. The world we live in has been changed dramatically through Big Data and this is just the beginning.
