Big data, changing the economy and changing life

Book Review

From Silicon Valley to Beijing, the topic of big data is being spread. With the advent of smartphones and "wearable" computing devices, every change in our behavior, position, and even physical physiology data has become data that can be recorded and analyzed. Based on this, the "Feedback economy" (feedback economy) and other New Economy (310358, Fund bar), new business model is also beginning to form. Professor Victor Meierschoenberg, "The Big Data Age", published by the Zhejiang Publishing House, is the best http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/14294.html I have seen in >. It is very valuable both for industry practitioners and for government and public institutions. Today, an era of mass production, sharing and application of data is opening. As Prof Victor says, the real value of big data is like an iceberg floating in the ocean, with the first glimpse of the iceberg, most of it hidden beneath the surface. The "power" to discover the value of data and conquer the ocean of data is cloud computing. The age of the Internet, especially social networks, E-commerce and mobile communications has brought human society into a new era of structural and unstructured data information in the form of "PB" (1024TB). Before the advent of cloud computing, traditional computers could not handle such a large and irregular "unstructured data".

Based on cloud computing information storage, sharing and mining means, can be cheap and effective to these large, high-speed, many changes in the terminal data storage, and at any time for analysis and calculation. Big data and cloud computing are two sides of a problem: one is a problem, the other is a solution. The analysis and prediction of large data through cloud computing makes the decision more accurate and frees up the hidden value of more data.

's Big Data age cites numerous examples of big data changes in public health and business services. Once the "no longer pursues precision, no longer pursues causation, but admits to confounding, exploring relationships", "thinking shifts, data can be cleverly used to inspire new products and new services". Data is becoming a huge economic asset, a new century of minerals and oil, will bring new entrepreneurial direction, business model and investment opportunities.

The vast population and application market, with its high complexity and variety, makes China the world's most complex and large data country. To solve the problem caused by large-scale data and to explore the solution based on large data is an important means to upgrade and improve the efficiency of China's industry. Data mining can not only become the source of company's competitiveness, but also become a part of national competitiveness. Connecting to the various problems faced by China's modernization and the challenges of education, transportation, health care and so on, it is more meaningful to solve the problem through the innovative way of large data, to create a new industry group and to realize the change of "Made in China to create in China". The obstacle to the development of "big data" is the "fluidity" and "availability" of the data. The U.S. government created the Data.gov Web site, opening the door to big data, as well as the "Data Disclosure" campaign in Britain and India. To catch up with such a big data revolution, the community should start by trying to disclose data, methods and methods. As the industrial Revolution to open material transactions, circulation, open, circulating data is the demand of the trend of the times.

The translator of this book, Professor Zhou, is the most promising and young data expert in our country. The 27-Year-old professor has been leading the academic community in China for several years to the top of the international class in large data research. More valuable, he not only does research, but also focuses on the commercialization and dissemination of research results. This translation is the result of one of his efforts.

In the

modern history of the technological revolution, China is the learner. In this new change in cloud computing and big data, China is the least distance from the world, and in many areas there is even the possibility of innovation and leadership. As long as we embrace the "big Data Age" with an open mind and innovative courage, we will certainly seize the opportunity that history has given China innovation.
