Gary King, PhD Harvard University 'Big Data is Not About the Data!' Abstract: The spectacular progress the media describes as "big data" has little to do with the data. Data, after all, is becoming commoditized, less expensive, and an automatic byproduct of other changes in organizations and society. More data alone doesn't generate insights; it often […]
