Comment: Big Data is Everywhere: 5 Ways It's Used in Your Everyday Life

It is really an interesting article, we use big data in our daily life to make our life easier. Sometimes, we don't even know these things are all relying on big data.

Take my personal experience for example,  I had been travel abroad for a lot of time, sometimes I will get lost in the country, and this time, I will use google map to search for the correct road to let me not to get lost in foreign countries.
Also, when I want to take the bus, I will search where the bus is now on the bus arrival app before I walk to the bus stop, to not let myself wait at the bus stop for a long time. Thanks to big data, I will not get lost in foreign countries and also I don't need to wait at the bus stop for a long time during the hot summer days and rainy days.

Another example is every time when I open my online shopping website, there will be a lot of recommendations on my home page and the most of the recommendations products are products that I searched on the online shopping website before and their similar products, whether I had bought it or not, these products will still all appear on the recommendation. And if I linked my online shopping account with my social media account, such as Facebook, it will also jump out of the advertisement about similar products that I searched on the online shopping website for a long period of time.
