What does big data mean?

In Thursday the White House, through its blog election, announced that it would set up a dedicated team to study big data, what benefits it would take to understand big data, and the pitfalls behind big data and the impact of big data on government policymaking. (large data mainly for personal privacy)

Big Data This thing you say a set of he said, anyway, big data is very complex. Part of the reason is that large data is not purely technical, although it sounds as though large data is a variety of optimization methods and techniques for data collection, storage and processing across the entire technical field. In addition, large data related to the data, privacy, or even large data "large", according to the different application environment have different specific meaning. The study of large data has been in place for 5 years.

Here are 5 aspects of the big data that the White House team needs to decipher.

1 security is not synonymous with privacy.

Adobe and Target department stores have exposed the user data disclosure scandal. Some companies store too much user data and save time for too long, which can cause problems. How to avoid the use of data in the wrong place is a technical solution, but how companies should use the data should be a matter of government policy.

2 Privacy pros and cons coexist.

There is no need to talk too much about national security and privacy now, and since the Snowden incident, such arguments have been about the government's right to collect personal privacy. But it is important to remember that in this consuming world, privacy is sacrificed if it is to be facilitated. The way some companies use personal privacy is less popular, and correcting these companies ' wrong usage has become easy and even necessary. We need to know that between personal privacy and free service, especially on the internet, we have to make sacrifices.

3 Big can't explain anything.

In my opinion, both the volume of data collection and the wide range of data sources are just a distraction. Too much data can only cause problems if the system's processing power and analytics are exceeded. The operation under the big frame can also be applied to a single person, which is undoubtedly more troublesome. Whether it's GPS tracking or a variety of facial-recognition apps, whether it's a social network or a fitness device, the way to collect and analyze the personal information needed is much more than it used to be.

4 The concept referred to by a person is different from the previous one.

The large amount of Internet (the carrier of the trust of services – from credit cards to Gmail) and the loose policy of collecting digital information completely subverts the private and public concepts-especially in the legal environment-so it becomes more difficult to identify violations of the law. It's all just because it's easier to gather information, but it doesn't mean we can misuse it.

5 data is the future of the transformation.

The reality that one cannot ignore is that any rule that affects the use and collection of data will have a huge impact on the future world. This is not an exaggeration, but as long as you think of the power of big companies such as Google, Microsoft and Facebook in the area of data processing, we should be aware of the importance of data when it comes to the fact that these companies have already applied large data to the field of response.

People are exposed to more data every day than ever before. New large data types and new data are developed every day to convert previously thought-useless documents such as pictures and videos into data types that contain large amounts of data. In areas such as cognitive computing and artificial intelligence, we are entering a phase of rapid development, and the impact of development on humans is greater than we can imagine, and we have to admit that.

If the White House is to make use of big data, it is necessary to know the nature of big data and the impact of big data. More important is that the White House needs to understand that big data is big data, no one can fully grasp, and no one can cope. Big data is everything in the world.
