Introduction: Foreign media in Tuesday wrote that the "Big data" revolution has revolutionized human life, such as in grocery can ask the home refrigerator whether the need for milk.  When you walk into a shoe store, a wireless device can test your shoe size and your way of walking. The following is a summary of the article: 6 years ago, John Weberst (John Webster) and Chris Stakutis (Chris stakutis) jointly wrote a book, "All-inclusive data" (inescapable data),  The book contains conversations with nearly 50 entrepreneurs and executives, mainly about how large-scale data collection can change their business and life. Stakutis, the chief technology officer at IBM's Tivoli Software Division, has been interested in "data-emitting devices", such as refrigerators with IP addresses that can share data over the Internet.  Stakutis explained to Webster (Evaluator Group storage analyst) How to ask in the grocery whether the refrigerator needs milk. Stakutis said that the milk in the home refrigerator with an RFID sensor, can communicate with the refrigerator's RFID receiver, and then by the refrigerator to send a message to the owner.  The scenes from "all-encompassing data" are starting to come true today, Webster said at a conference on storage science and Technology held in California in Tuesday. Stride Rite, a manufacturer of children's shoes, once imagined: "When you enter a shoe store, a wireless device can measure your foot code and walk, and choose the right shoes for you."  In addition, the data can be shared with chain manufacturers, health care providers or medical researchers. "This is part of Big data," Webster said. This wireless device also measures your age and weight, and if combined with some other basic information, if you have enough samples, you can even find genetic features to predict your physical condition. I have arthritis in my knee and I believe this device can be detected.  "There is no doubt that the development of these technologies is of great significance to some startups and investors, and some companies are starting to think about how to use the growing storage space and computing power to develop breakthrough technologies." But whether people are willing to share some of their personal data with others is a problem. For example, if nerves are damaged and unable to exercise muscle, they can be moved by implanting a chip in the brain.  If you share data in this situation, is the brain likely to be hacked? Webster said: ' Big Data ' is an innovation that knows where you are at all times. We can use this data in an effective way, and I have seen the market demand. "(Li Ming)
