Big data, just to make money?

Big Data storage and analysis is an effective tool, as a software developer, the focus is on software implementation and maintenance, but think carefully, big data is just to make money?

Even if I have no environmental studies, or geological studies, and a History of disease research, I also think that the methods employed by these institutes, one of which must involve a great deal of data storage and analysis, especially modelling and analysis, such data monitoring and analysis in many countries and regions, different organizations and places have been carried out, Some are to detect changes in an ecological species, or geological reactions, and disease outbreaks, one of the aims of the model is to be able to predict future development, and to take appropriate measures to deal with the crisis, for the era of universal Internet use today, crowdsourcing model of research abound, share data, In order to expect more people to provide better modelling and analysis on the internet, it is actually helpful to have a pervasive crisis, and although each model is more or less error-based, the measure cannot be effective, but this effort is necessary for us.

From the software developer's point of view, most of the applications for data storage and analysis, at home, what they hear are business applications and developments, and the real problem is to create wealth, not to provide solutions to some of the most pervasive existential problems, to environmental ecology, geology, As well as disease and other issues of practical concern, monitoring and control.

Software developers are too narrowed to perceive their own world, and more is the indifference of official attitudes, leading to the need for big data analysis and research in areas where there is no strong financial support, these areas are themselves the world of scientists and researchers, while the cultivation of scientists and researchers requires a lot of money to invest in, and continuous project support, and the significance of cognition and research in these areas, more than the pursuit of commercial interests, is beneficial to the people's livelihood, but is greatly neglected.

We know that there is no way to avoid the fate, but to a certain extent, the nature of the display of data is to give us the hint and help, and the analysis and research of this data is an excellent opportunity to grasp this help, software developers can learn a lot of new language tools every year, Whether it's R or Python, and so on, the primitives are based on scientific research, economists are mathematicians in nature, and most of the scientific fields I know are data-related, developing a software or maintaining a software may be a job, but, more important, If we can apply the knowledge of mathematics and these tools, if the official can open up a lot of long-term monitoring of the ecology, as well as diseases and so on our survival benefits related to the data, borrow crowdsourcing model, we can build some basic analysis, may be able to get some better results.

These things for some countries and regions, very common, especially the more wealthy countries pay more attention to this aspect of research, I think, in our sense, is the big data just to make money? Baidu, Ali or Google, we may need better tools, but more people are interested to pay attention to the more common problems of analysis and modeling.
