Big Data and what are the Numbers behind it?
Today it is undeniable that the Internet is becoming more and more centralized. Why is this happening well it's easy to understand in the "Information Age" data is king and more valuable than most think why they willingly give away their information for free while these companies sell your dataYou gave them for free. Why is data collection so important well it allows these big data companies and the government to control your live by seeing into the future by using quantum artificially intelligente computing which crunches this data and categorizes it through complex algorithms to best predict the outcome of crises, advertising, and human behavior of the individual as well as the masses and Future generations behaviors. By doing this companies and governments can become so fine at knowing what and when people will do and how certain groups in families or react. I cannot stress enough how valuable your data is and how it is the new king in town. Publicly known our data has been being hoarded since 2010 but this is only public information but has been going on more than likely before the turn of the modern century the late 19 eighties and 19 nineties. We all opt into giving away our data for free apps in other goodies of the like but most forget it is not just what you do with your apps or search Indians but also your credit cards gift cards reward cards in membership card's data are all collected in categorized. We are cells can download apps onto someone else's phone and track what they do so it wouldn't be difficult for mass corporations or governments to do the same with stunning accuracy and basically predict where you're gonna be, most likely what your gonna do and who your gonna be around. Quoted in 1999 by Sun Micro Systems stating "You no longer have privacy." In 2013 Google's chairman said if we let them have all our data he would give us in return ad's that we want to see, free maps, and email services etc. etc. etc. you get the picture. The truth is we don't know the truth of how massive this is because public records are watered down. Most don't know but We have massive data trunks under the Atlantic ocean connecting us to Engpand and Europe. For the record, nothing that happens in the United States happens without sanction of the British Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA). It is a continuing an on going agreement 1st openly entered ( there where many such secret agreements before hand) By Churchill and Roosevelt in 1938 under the terms of which United States intelligence services are obligated to share intelligence secrets with British intelligence. It is hard to tell who else it branches to but it is publicly known about this data trunk that connects the United States and Europe. Most may be aware of the data collecting but once we start putting a number to it which are probably way higher we can seeing how ridiculous this information grid really is that we live in. Internet research company Wikibond, a professional community solving technology and business problems through open source sharing and free advisory knowledge says that big data is a $50 billion dollar Business in 2017 that's just messing with the data not following the interactions of the data. If I was to give an educated guess I would say it's many many times bigger then that and valuable. If you begin to consider all the data that is collected when you shop, go to the supermarket and use your food club card and your credit card or any card that sends and receives data you have to cause all our cards have chips now. You are forced to stick your card into a machine what do you think is going on there? It's pulling all the data off there and inserting new data on the chip. Most of our data isn't being used but stored for a later time but the screaming amount of data has to be used at some point without filling up the data bins in clogging them. That's also where these supercomputers come in to sort through this data for specific information using algorithms. Now remember at least publicly this has been going on since the turn of the century so just think of all that data and what it would take for just a second.....Now to put things into perspective here is a few big data facts I found. As of 2017 approximately 2.7 Zetabytes of data exist in the entire digital universe. What is Zetabytes? A Zetabyte is one sextillion bytes and we entered into the Zetabyte Era supposibly in 2016. By my educated guess we have by more then surpassed that but remember this is just public information you can find. A frame of reference a petbyte is a million gigabytes a zetabyte is a million petbytes. When we think of the data trunk that connects us to Europeand who knows where else under the Atlantic Ocean they are probably pulling a zetabyte an hour but who truly knows just a perspective. From the beginning of human history we can get through up to 2011 all of the data that has ever been recorded is now being exceeded every year by a very large factor basically it is geometrically increasing every year or so. Everything all the way until 2011 we have been shrinking that to a year, six months, a month, and now a few days! Wow that is insane when you start to think about it. Everything is connected with each other through the internet of things and it just keeps getting faster and smarter. Every little thing you do is being recorded somewhere and that's information data. I hope this was informative and gets your mind working to understand the power of data information. Now days power goes to he who controls data controls the future and the past with absolute power.
Forgot to add that 90% of all the data that exist to this point since the beginning has been created in the last 2 years. In 2018 ever second that passes 50,000 gigabytes of data is generated. I know this is mind boggling but I felt I need to share this information cause most have no idea that it's basically beyond human comprehension the reason Artificial Intelligence is gonna be running things from now on.
