What is Big Data? What is it used for?
Every day more data is generated. The Internet of Things is not something imaginary and you can already track your sleeping habits or the number of calories you burn when you go running. The term Big Data first appeared in the 1960s but is now taking on new importance.
In this article, we will try to solve all your doubts and questions. What is big data? By definition, Big Data is data sets of great variety, which are generated in large volumes and at an ever-increasing speed. Did you know that an airplane engine generates more than 10 terabytes of data in just 30 minutes of flight? And how many flights are there in a day? This means that each day there are several new petabytes of information. Photo and video uploads, messages, and comments on Facebook generate several hundred terabytes of new data every day. The sum of all this makes a lot of data, right? Well, that is what we call Big Data.
Data sources: where does this large amount of data come from?
Big Data is generated through many of the activities we carry out on a daily basis. Therefore, the data sources are truly diverse: GPS devices, facial recognition sensors, and emails are just a few examples.
Most people use some kind of technology or online services like Gmail or Facebook. These companies allow us to send and exchange data and, in turn, use the data that we provide them.
In other words, online services, websites, apps, and many other devices are constantly analyzing data to make their services more efficient and to develop new products. And for this, they use Big Data tools and services to analyze and process massive data in order to improve their offer.
But it doesn’t stop there. One day someone thought: “Why don’t we use big data so that the machines can learn by themselves?” This is how automatic learning, or machine learning, was born, which also began to generate more data. Take advantage of Big Data, check Site Traffic API.
