Big data has acquired a very audible voice in the industry these days. I am monitoring it closely for quite some time and I am very optimistic about its contribution to corporate world and society at large. Although Harvard Business Review - Dec 2013 issue quotes the economist Herbert "A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention" - I feel that despite such "side effects" this wave of Big data is not likely to turn out as another "typical hype of IT industry".
I am scheduled to talk about it during an event on 14th April in Dubai.
Too much data might lead to poverty of attention but it totally depend on how that data is used. How the data is analysed and presented to the correct people. And I say correct people because not everyone understands the value of information.
Anyway, I just wanted to give me 2 cents worth. I enjoyed the poetry too. I randomly came to your blog from LinkedIn.
