Creating wealth creates new careers.

Zhou Me, an MBA graduate at Yale University, was "snatched" by IBM at the gates of the company's rapidly expanding data-consulting division, which specializes in providing an analysis of exploding data on social networks, providing a reference for corporate decision-making, cutting spending and boosting sales.

For now, America needs more data-analysis talent like Zhou Me. According to research institute data, the United States needs 140,000 to 190,000 data experts and 1.5 million data analysts.

These "data riches" can also serve the individual

Wealth is not dominated by big companies. A Silicon Valley venture capital agency expert said, "Big data" is not just a buzzword, it should be believed to have a real future, the data will be scattered in various fields, your route, your usual locations, your favorite colors, the things you often buy, the views and comments on social networking sites, These will be part of personal data that can be used to serve everyone.

Risk

The end of privacy?

However, new worries are born. Some private institutions are concerned that the use of these data by enterprises and institutions may violate the original intention of the bob, and thus constitute a privacy violation. The construction of the legal framework is far behind the development of new technologies. Another potential risk is that some people may use platforms such as microblogs to publish false data and create an illusion of the status of a business in order to raise or depress the company's share price.

Information

How big is the big data?

"Big Data" is a "sketch" of the development trend of science and technology, which opens a door for human beings to understand the world and make their own decisions. Currently, global data volumes are growing at a rate of 50% per cent a year, and this data is not simply an increase in numbers, but a full range of data changes across the field. When people analyze this data through a computer, they become a judge of some kind of development trend.

Sweden pushes for universal "micro-spokesperson"

Want to be a national speaker? In Sweden, everyone has a chance.

The Swedish government has launched an image promotion program in which Swedish citizens are recommended and licensed to "authorize use" of the Swedish government's official Weibo account, which has been addicted to a "spokesperson" for a period of one week. Since the launch of the scheme, it has achieved good results and attracted other countries to follow suit.

Eric Isbery, a 18-year-old high school student, lives in a small town in southwestern Sweden. From 4th to 10th this month, Isbery has the exclusive right to use the official Weibo @sweden. In other words, his microblog represents the country.

June 6, Sweden National Day, Isbery sleep late, get up after eating the mother prepared bread, self-portrait of a "national spokesman" of the photo issued micro-blog: "I think the most Swedish traditional way to celebrate this national day-to sleep in the morning." ”

Like Isbery, other Swedish citizens who acted as "micro-speakers" tried to show what they considered to be Swedish "characteristics" during the "mandate period". Isbery, the oldest of them 60, is by far the youngest "micro-spokesperson".

Isbery said his school had learned that he was "representing" the country and allowed him to use microblogs during his class. A teacher even told him that he could not have a class if he needed to send more tweets.

Of course, "representing" the state means taking responsibility. Isbery said the official microblog @sweden has more than 28,000 "fans" who often raise various issues and he has a responsibility to answer them carefully. The process of answering is the process of his learning.

Once, when others asked him what he wanted to do in his life, he froze. "I don't want to be a commercial product. Isbery said, "I am me, this is the most representative of the Swedish view." ”
