Big data analytics, also known as data science, is one of the hottest fields in information technology. This is due to the fact that it is nearly ubiquitous across industries, and the growth and popularity of the Internet has led to vast sums of data being generated daily for advertisers to capitalize on.
Estimates show that the amount of data that is generated globally will grow to unbelievable amounts. Research firm IDC believes that global data will grow at a stunning compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 61% between 2018 and 2025, to 175 zettabytes by 2025. For the uninitiated, a gigabyte of information contains 1024 megabytes, and a zettabyte has roughly 1,100 trillion megabytes - much larger than your daily Internet usage we'd assume. To better understand the significance of IDC's estimates, if all this data was written onto blu-ray disks, then these disks could be stacked to the Moon 23 times over.
