VoiceTube---Viktor Mayer-Schonberger and Kenneth Cukier:大數據
"BIG DATA: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work, and Think," is a revelatory exploration of the hottest trend in technology and the dramatic impact it will have on the economy, science, and society at large. Which paint color is most likely to tell you that a used car is in good shape? How can Con Edison catch the most dangerous New York City manholes before they explode? And how did YOU (well, Google) predict the spread of the H1N1 flu outbreak? The key to answering these questions, and many more, is big data, our newfound ability to crunch vast collections of information, analyze it instantly, and draw sometimes profoundly surprising conclusions from it. This emerging science can translate myriad phenomena—from the price of airline tickets to the text of millions of books—into searchable form, and uses our newfound computing power to unearth revelations that we never could have seen before.
A revolution on par with the Internet or perhaps even the printing press, big data will change the way we think about business, health, politics, education, and innovation in the years to come. It also poses fresh threats, especially the prospect of being penalized by for things we haven't even done yet, based on big data's ability to predict our future behavior.
“大數據：一個革命，將改變我們如何生活，工作和思考， ”是一個啟示性的探索最熱門的趨勢，在技術和巨大的影響將會對經濟，科學和社會。這漆的顏色，二手車是在良好的狀態是最有可能告訴你嗎？如何愛迪生趕上最危險的紐約市沙井他們爆炸之前？你們怎麼搞的（當然，谷歌）預測甲型H1N1流感疫情的蔓延？的關鍵，回答這些問題，更多的人，是大數據，我們緊縮的浩瀚信息集合，立即對其進行分析，並從失敗中汲取深刻，有時令人驚訝的結論，新發現的能力。這個新興的科學能夠翻譯無數的現象，從機票價格以百萬計的書籍，到搜索表單中的文本，並使用我們新獲得的計算能力來發掘，我們永遠也不可能見過的啟示。
在同水準與互聯網或什至印刷機的革命，大數據將改變我們對商業，健康，政治，教育和創新，在未來幾年的道路。它也帶來了新的威脅，被處罰了的東西，我們甚至還沒有完呢，根據預測我們未來的行為大數據的能力，尤其是前景
