Big data is a stepping stone for the exponential growth of IoT | The Enterprisers Project

Big data is a stepping stone for the exponential growth of IoT | The Enterprisers Project | Big Data + Libraries | Scoop.it
Someday soon, we’ll be able to look back on the idea of big data and laugh the way we do when we talk about other transformative (but now obsolete) technologies like the VCR and the fax machine. We’ll laugh because what we once thought of as transformative will be viewed as nothing more than a quaint stepping-stone. Yes, there is more big data on the way, but we aren’t simply talking about bigger data, we’re talking about data in a third dimension, thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT).

38 great resources for learning data mining concepts and techniques | Big Data + Libraries | Scoop.it

In the blossoming world of Big Data, the data miner is king. 

With today’s tools, anyone can collect data from almost anywhere, but not everyone can pull the important nuggets out of that data. Whacking your data into Tableau is an OK start, but it’s not going to give you the business critical insights you’re looking for. To truly make your data come alive you need to mine it. Dig deep. Play around. And tease out the diamond in the rough.
