[Infographic] The Analytics Big Bang

Big Data is a real thing today:
* 2.7 trillion GB of data was created or replicated in 2012
* Every day 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created
* The number of connected devices is expected to grow from 9 billion in 2011 to 24 billion in 2020

However, this isn't exactly a "big bang" phenomenon, more so regarding solutions to address the problems this would require to be solved. Data Scientists (see post: [Infographic] Decoding Data Science & the Data Scientist) have been studying this for over 50 years and this great infographic by FICO succinctly illustrates the innovations in this space over the past 70+ years and which are expected to power the role of analytics - including predictive analytics - in the not so distant future. As IBM has outlined, they are focused on building the "Smarter Planet".

[Infographic] Decoding Data Science & the Data Scientist

Big Data (see post 'Big Data - A Pre-cursor') is one of the hottest buzz words of the present times. With huge amounts of digitized data running our daily lives - at work, and in personal lives - the volume and velocity of data being created is both fascinating, but also concerning. Unless this data can be utilized effectively, there'll be little value to anyone.

That's where the increasing attention to 'Data Analysis' comes in. But, it's not for the average person or the faint-of-mind to figure out a way through the zillions of bytes crossing the wires today! A new and much talked of role - the "Data Scientist' is emerging and is expected to be a most sought after position, at least in the near future. But, what exactly is 'data science' and who is such a 'data scientist' after all?

This infographic by infographicworld helps answer this quite well.

[Infographic] 3D Printing

3D movies and 3D Televisions are becoming a regular feature of the day. On the pretext of enhancing the experience, these technologies are providing out of the world, sometimes even un-real feel to the movies and shows we love. Well, there's no doubt that many of these are enjoyable, and will remain so for some time to come.

With all this 3D-stuff, another area that's fast emerging, is that of 3D Printing. Something out of science fiction until only about 10 years ago, 3D Printing is fast growing, and one may not be able to imagine it's uses today. But, here's a look at what this new revolution entails.
