Are You Ready For Big Data?

Yet another concept starting to pop up ever more frequently in day-to-day conversations.  

Although no formal definition likely exists, my working definition seems to be adequate for the time being: the act of creating new value through harnessing enormous amounts of information.

Yes, though the definitional net is quite large – and many fish are caught as a result – the core thought is the same: big data means that increasingly enormous amounts of data are seen as an inherently good thing vs. an evil to be avoided.
