Big data is more prevalent in daily life than you think
Many People believe that big data was only used for hardcore business functions. But we don't focus enough on the benefits of big data in daily life.
Providing better entertainment than before
Whether it’s listening to music, watching videos or gaming many people entertain themselves online. Naturally, we always leave footprints of online activities, and businesses harness that footprints of online activities then use it to customize the user experience of their current and potential customers
Improved safety on many level
Big data is improving public safety in remarkable ways. It is used for law enforcement, reducing traffic accidents, identifying potential natural disasters and more. In the business world big data can analyze a lot of cases to make the appropriate contingency plans to keep their stakeholders and the organization safe.
Making shopping much more convenient
When people get recommendation emails from online retail stores, it is done by big data. Because many customers have to spend their time searching for hours for products they desire and get frustrated after that.
Improving health in countless ways
Finally, big data improves medical care throughout the world, which is pretty important if you think about it. With the digitalization of medical records, doctors and other healthcare professionals can keep track of their patients without an office visit. They can also help patients from afar. Many emergency medical professionals are using big data and technology to increase their ability to save lives, and global medical care not only allows practitioners to share knowledge with others but also to isolate and combat disease before it spreads to epidemic proportions.
Big Data is used in many different ways, and for many different reasons.
ReplyDeleteAs this report mentioned before, we are listening to music, watching videos, or gaming, many people entertain themselves online by smartphone, laptop, computer, or many other devices wherever and whenever we want.
And from those normal situations, we can see the opportunities to analyze the numbers by using big data, for example, how many musics are downloaded by day in the whole world by the streaming services on the smartphone. As just this information, we can make different condition such as which age level of people download what kind of music genre, how many percentages of people who usually listening to music uses the music streaming apps or devices, because, for me, I usually listen to the music with my phone with Spotify or YouTube or something like that, but when I am in my house in Japan, I prefer to listen to music with CD, so also analyze “how many CDs were sold” could be interesting.
And for the health issue, for example, the COVID-19 pandemic, we could use the result of COVID-19 big data by using the data based on the number of infected people and the infection routes and it is necessary to devise measures for the future increase in the number of infected people.
For the conclusion of my comment, Big Data is actually used not only for a hardcore business function, but also in many different situations and makes our lives more meaningful, and helpful.
By reading so many of big data articles and reports, it is very important for us now to understand more about the big data, and we have to get ready for it, as it is not a thing that are now far from us. We have to change our mindset that big data is not only for the big company, or in the businesses area. But it is the thing that we can easily find in our daily basis. For example, the situation that are mentioned in the article above, if we listen to music, play game, or do online stuffs, it can leave a footprint of the online activities that we do. And from that, they can use that footprint as a collected data and analyze about it. But this is in a good way because once they learn about our data, they can generate a better recommendation, or algorithms that suits us more. The next thing is about safety. Because the data collected can be done online, and everybody and collect it, so it is important for us to be aware of our privacy and not let it leak easily. But it is also important for the company to show their transparency about the collected data and how will they deal with it, so if we are sure that they will not use it in a bad way, then we can feel more relaxed. Because big data can help us in so many useful ways, so if we learn and understand more about it, it is for sure will become a treasure for us and will enhance our living life.
