The Potential Of Big Data
- suking 15y agoWhen is the infographic bubble going to pop?
- malik 15y agoOne of the few areas I've been convinced that big data is mkaing money is Facebook. They've managed to collect the largest and most detailed direct marketing database in history. But other sectors? This infographic is full of 500 billion here and 300 billion there, but really, who is going to pay for big data location services? What is it going to do in healthcare? I didn't find the McKinsey study any more elucidating: http://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/publications/big_data/index.asp http://www.mckinsey.com/mgi/publications/big_data/index.asp

- robertfw 15y agoThe sad thing is that it's not just one typo, it's used throughout. Great job!
- jpdoctor 15y agoYou say sad, I say awesome: Petabytes ultimately fueled by petrol FTL!
- reemrevnivek 15y agoThe really sad thing is that it's not just used throughout this infographic, it's all over the web: http://www.google.com/search?q=petrabyte http://www.google.com/search?q=petrabyte

- mwexler 15y agoMost infographics delight in providing info and some insight in a visually appealing way. This provides very little info and even less insight. Very disappointing, esp. from Column Five, which usually does superior work. The infographic trend is rapidly approaching infotoon status, and that's not good. Just because you _can_ make an infographic on a hot trend doesn't always mean you _should_.
- AJ007 15y agoI can't comment on this one specifically. Other infographics I have seen, representing areas I am an expert in, I have found to have misleading representations of data and in some cases blatantly false numbers. This is a good example of deception through appearance. By making something look official or professional you can get really sloppy with the facts and no one questions it.
- j_baker 15y agoIs there a higher-resolution version of this infographic? It's practically unreadable on my iPad.
