Big Data Age: seven trends to be grasped in the future

When you enter the search box in Baidu: "If there is a military conflict in the South China Sea, which a few shares can benefit from it?" The search results page returns a string of stock codes in 0.01 seconds.

It's not science fiction, it's a reality that's within reach. The South China Sea War may not erupt (in fact, its probability can also be calculated), and the stock of the recommendation is likely to be true. The search engine is not based on the study of the company's business or the analysis of the financial statements, but based on grasping all the data of the stock market and historical events, and "discovering" its relevance.

This is just the tip of a tiny iceberg. Big data, once like the Wild West, are now being built at breathtaking speeds, and the new era will slowly unfold as the tracks, factories, rigs, docks and stages are all ready.

If you miss the Internet surge that has been raging over the past 20 years, follow the seven big trends that are likely to happen in the next 20 years:

Sensors like air everywhere

Breakthrough technology will make the sensor volume miniaturization, it will appear in the production of life every corner, and even targeted slow-release capsules into the human body, monitoring the chemical environment and small changes in tissue organs.

After the cost is lowered, the sensor no longer needs to recycle, as a one-time use of contact lenses like a month, the completion of the mission automatically discarded, and the new sensor will continue to supplement the data source; The number of sensor nodes would reach a trillion level, and its data would exceed 80% of the daily total amount of data transmitted by humans, and new low energy wireless communication standards were born.

Data services like water on the fly

Google, Baidu, Amazon and other giants will establish a comprehensive data services infrastructure and commercialization model, from data storage, mining, management, computing and other aspects of the provision of one-stop service, the data isolated from all walks of life through the Internet.

Between the user and the data service provider is the algorithm provider, they hire talented professionals and data scientists to find links between things through data mining, such as the relationship between gene sets and disease, how the atmosphere affects crop yields, and how a certain wine advertisement drives condom sales.

and the user (regardless of individual or organization) needs to do is like downloading the mobile phone App today, chooses the corresponding data service end, pays, enjoys "n=all" the real time data brings the deep insight and the action Guide.

Big data wave sweeping across the industry

Personal life data will be collected and uploaded in real time, diet, health, travel, home, medical, shopping, social, large data services will be widely used and the quality of life of the user has revolutionized, all services will be personalized for each "you" tailored, Provides intelligent decisions based on historical data and real-time dynamics for each behavior.

Large data in the traditional field will also play a huge role: to help agriculture to carry out ultra fine tillage according to the environment climate soil crop condition, to grasp the supply and demand balance in the industrial production field, to excavate the innovation growth point; traffic congestion and accidents will become history , the energy industry will achieve accurate forecasting and production real-time control.

Large data will become the highest basis for competing relations between countries, but also top secret, for data centers and sensor clusters of hackers, the data war has become the main form of warfare.

Data assets right and legislation triggering debate

As Alistair Croll says: The biggest threat to the data-driven world is moral. We share our resources in a way that risks, such as insurance, and the more we can predict the future, the less we want to share it with others.

Personal data asset ownership, personal or corporate? Where is the border of privacy? What is the choice between public interest and personal privacy? Data is geographically, how to deal with data service cases of cross-border storage and management, and so on. The development of technology will force the international community to formulate and perfect the corresponding laws, and multinational companies will play a leading role.

In turn, the enactment of laws will also promote the development of data security technology, the intelligent program will be able to enable the corresponding privacy level in different contexts, the isolation of data acquisition "private space" will become a new service hotspot.

Artificial intelligence penetrates human life completely

From Apple's Siri to Google's machine translation, to Baidu's deep learning and "Baidu Brain", the frequent interaction between business and technology will greatly enhance the evolution of artificial intelligence. The machine will be able to understand the subtle implications of human words, sounds, images, movements and even expressions, and to provide human beings with both efficiency and personality decisions and services, supported by large data;

Imagine a trip, an artificial intelligence analysis of your past travel records and recent life trails, combined with the major tourist attractions, traffic conditions, weather forecasts and other data analysis, to provide you with the most appropriate destination, planning a good line of unmanned vehicles in accordance with the itinerary will send you to the attractions, and according to your schedule timely deployment of vehicle transfer.

All hotels, restaurants and services have been customized according to your life data, and the machine will even remind you to record the good times, send them to relevant friends, and enhance the intimacy of your relationship. All the exotic words and languages you encounter will be translated into your native language in real time. This is just a simple slice of a lot of scenes.

The combination of artificial intelligence robot technology will replace the people engaged in simple mechanical labor, as well as some service industries, labor surplus will become a prominent social problems.

AI-led entertainment industry will become the economic pillar, combined with virtual reality technology immersion game to understand each player's nerve stimulation model, and can bring the ultimate sensory enjoyment, the film "EHR" in love with the program story or will become a universal reality.

Social relations face overall change

Traditional labor relations and organizational forms will be broken, workers in a liquid form of free flow combination, become a "liquid company", through a large data platform, customer demand and human resources to accurately match, individuals can maximize their potential, while breaking regional, language and cultural barriers, global collaboration has become a major trend.

The whole transformation of love and marriage mode, individual can according to different relations need to be a large data provider for accurate matching, to ensure the physical and mental, economic, values and lifestyles of the real "match", and to establish a timely contract relationship.

The traditional family pattern enters the reconstruction stage, the group of people becomes the person with "the number" cent, has the similar data characteristic colony to live in the similar commune form, realizes the resource conformity and the life style high efficiency harmony.

International brands to in-depth data analysis, gathering loyal core user base, and the development of upstream and downstream lifestyle product services, forming a highly cohesive "brand tribe" concept, the crowd will even use the brand as a totem, surname or spiritual belief.

Human civilization enters the whole new era

In the field of scientific research, the traditional "phenomenon observation-theory hypothesis-practice verification" paradigm changes to "data mining-abstract model-extended application", and the path from idea to practical application will be shortened greatly and the speed of technological progress is improved comprehensively.

People are liberated from the low-level work of mechanical repetition and devote themselves to more valuable creative processes. Large data will help humans discover effective mechanisms for stimulating creativity and happiness, and society is entering a new era of spiritual civilization from material civilization.

Artificial intelligence will gradually understand and imitate human emotion, machine and human symbiosis become evolutionary trend, singularity comes.

When we look back 20 years later, this is called the big Data year's special time point, many things have been quietly buried foreshadowing: top AI experts, Google brain Wunda to join Baidu, Google low-key acquisition of a large number of robotics companies, Microsoft released virtual personal assistant Cortana, Claiming to be in the "Spring of artificial Intelligence".

When these few master the world's most abundant data resources of the technology giants are exerting force, you can smell that a little gunpowder, the big data era of the hurricane just kicked off.

Let's wait for the day when the prophecy comes true.
