From the first paragraph:
"In the past decade the amount of data being created has skyrocketed. More than
30000 gigabytes of data are generated every second, and the rate of data creation is
only accelerating"
How could you even hope to put a number on the rate at which data is being generated? What does it even mean to generate data?
Would make for a fun (& meaningless) interview question!
- metaobject 15y agoI agree. Where I work, we run weather and climate models, and These models generate 100's of gigabytes of output in a short amount of time. Regarding "data being generated", these models output 3D data sets of weather/atmospheric related variables (4D if you include time).
- mweatherill 15y agoPerhaps it is an estimate on the volume of data that is archived, hence is suitable for future analysis.
