Small Data Sprawl
January 9, 2015
I read “Forget Big Data, Small Data Is Going to Be 100 Times Harder to Tackle—EMC.” The point of the write up is that when devices generate data, life will be tougher than with old fashioned Big Data.
My thought is that wordsmithing works wonders for companies seeking purchase on the slippery face of Mt. Sales.
My reaction is that each datum of small data “belongs” to something. Maybe Google? Maybe a company in Shanghai? Won’t these folks aggregate the data and sell it? There are nascent data hubs. Perhaps these companies will get into the aggregation business. It worked for Ian Sharp at IP Sharp decades ago. I think it will probably work again.
