Chapter 2: Big Data

[Tim]

Big Data

Edelman is dead right about privacy being dead. What's even more astounding is how many people freely give up information to social engineers. The attempts to extract it seem never ending. The Cambridge Analytica affair will hopefully have opened some people's eyes. I am one of the few who doesn't have a Facebook account and have always told my kids to be careful what they post.

It is amazing to think that it's even possible that we have created more data in the last five years than in all the rest of human history.

Deepface, Cortana, and especially IBMs Watson may be the best investment options for this chapter. I don't know of any data brokers other than the previously mentioned Cambridge Analytica.

We will definitely have to explore who are the leaders in both robotics and big data.

Any thoughts?
