Intro to Big Data & the Joy of Stats

Hello! I've heard that this 'big data' will be an important term later in the year, but to think that 'later' would come to be now. times flies. Here are three videos showcasing application Big Data to get a better wrap around the concept. 

1st Video: What is Big Data and How Does it Work?

The video dives straight into application of big data itself rather an than providing a direct, textbook definition. It can be inferred from the examples within the video that big data is the processing of massive myriads of data to used in further catering to the interests of those affected by the information such as users, clients, gamer, etc.



2nd Video: What is Big Data?

This 2-minute video of the same title begins with the statement: As technology advances, items that will collect and transmit data will increase as well, bringing the need for the interpretation and analysis of such. The video then explains that the influx of this miscellaneous information called big data and the how it can be made sense of and serve as relevant to us. The narrator then hints the potential endless purposes big data may come to provide.



3rd Video: The Joy of Stats

The video begins with a personal commentary of Han Rosling himself introducing his large statistic project demonstrating the quality of life of 200 countries through the categories of life expectancy and average wage. While this does not explicitly state anything regarding big data, The video is great example of big data and its capabilities because Rosling managed to analyze a huge mass of data and interest then present it in a meaningful and beneficial manner.
