Big Data…………..what is it and how is it made?Database sets that are so large, traditional data processing can’t cope

Since 2003, every day more data is created than from the beginning of time

Daily, we collectively create the equivalent amount of unstructured data as every spoken word since the dawn of man.

If this unstructured data was made into books, it would stack up from the earth to the sun, twice!
