"From the dawn of civilization until 2003, humankind generated five exabytes of data. Now we produce five exabytes every two days…and the pace is accelerating." - Eric Schmidt, Executive Chairman, Google.

Big Data refers to the large amounts of data collected every day from a range of human activities. Analysed correctly this data is invaluable to businesses, communities, governments and individuals.

Practical examples of how Big Data is used include; customer loyalty programs and targeted marketing, improved health practices and disease prevention, improved security and law enforcement and improved traffic and transport management in major cities.
