We get it, big data it's not really "big" unless you talk giga(tera?)bytes.
Do not take upon yourself to educate any single person that misuses the term. It's not worth it. :)
- ionforce 13y agoI guess it's a natural reaction to people wanting to jump on that "big data" bandwagon. Kind of like size envy I guess? So sad...
- Kurtz79 13y agoTrue, the point is that many people writing these stories cannot really tell (or care) about the difference. "Big data" is a sexy definition, so they go with it regardless of wheter it's actually relevant. Most of the people here do, so these comments are really preaching in the wrong place...
