Datafloq AI Score: 79.33

Datafloq enables anyone to contribute articles, but we value high-quality content. This means that we do not accept SEO link building content, spammy articles, clickbait, articles written by bots and especially not misinformation. Therefore, we have developed an AI, built using multiple built open-source and proprietary tools to instantly define whether an article is written by a human or a bot and determine the level of bias, objectivity, whether it is fact-based or not, sentiment and overall quality.

Articles published on Datafloq need to have a minimum AI score of 60% and we provide this graph to give more detailed information on how we rate this article. Please note that this is a work in progress and if you have any suggestions, feel free to contact us.

Big data is widely known as a resource that can help businesses. Companies use swaths of data to analyze their performances, better understand their customers, improve their efficiencies, and ultimately make more profit. Accordingly, big data can be seen as a cold, corporate tool designed to exploit consumers or increase already-high corporate profits.

However, big data is also making our everyday lives betterits benefitting consumers in some enormous and unexpected ways.

How Big Data Benefits Consumers

These are just some of the ways big data is making consumers lives better:

1. Health and fitness habits

For starters, consumers are getting to learn more about their health and fitness habits. Personal trackers help individuals better track how they move throughout the day, and measure vital signs like your pulse to help you gauge your health. On a broader scale, the healthcare industry is using big data to more efficiently and thoroughly understand client treatment, aiding in the research of new treatment options and helping organizations develop more personalized care. If you get sick or become injured, youll reap the benefits of an improved healthcare system, thanks to big data.

2. Cost and availability of products

Data is also helping consumers find better deals on consumer products, allowing them to aggregate lists of popular products from kitchen appliances to televisions. Automated means of scouring the web and tracking down similar products help consumers make the best possible purchases, giving them more buying power and sparing their budgets.

3. Improved products and services

Dont forget that most companies are digging into big data so they can make better offers to those consumers; they want to learn what their customers want and how they behave, and develop better products and services to suit those needs. The end result is that consumers are getting better, more intuitively designed products than they ever have before, which is obviously a good thing.

4. Ease and logistics of traveling

Big data is helping consumers find better travel packages as well. With major travel sites offering accommodations with flights, hotels, rental cars, and even entertainment, it pays to have an enormous bank of information to work with. Consumers can now find cheaper prices, more appropriate travel options, and a wider range of possibilities when attempting to travel.

5. Driving and transportation

On a smaller scale, consumers are also having an easier time driving and commuting. Thanks to big data, our GPS navigation systems are more intuitive, drawing in traffic information to adjust our routes on the fly and collecting user feedback to make those systems even more reliable and functional. City planners and public transportation organizations are also working to collect more data so they can plan more efficient routes throughout the city and make life easier for commuters.

6. Neighborhood insights

Big data can also help consumers learn more about whats going on in their neighborhood. Analyzing average homeowners in a given region can help prospective homebuyers understand the advantages of buying a house in the area, and may even provide insights into how the house may appreciate over time.

Where It Goes From Here

This is only the beginning of what big data can offer consumers. Even though it is a tool to help businesses become more profitable, businesses can only drive profit by serving consumerswhich means consumers ultimately stand to benefit just as much as corporations. As big data grows more sophisticated and is applied to more industries and niches, well likely see improvements in countless other areas of our lives.
