23 The Impact of Big Data

If this is the part of my blog where I'm supposed to get into a vast hullabaloo about either the pros or cons of massive data affecting my life; you can forget it.

Given that I do not own a smart phone and that my internet use consists primarily of checking my Facebook wall and using Youtube as a radio, I wouldn't say that "big data" impacts me as much as others.  I could be wrong in this assumption, but I never truly thought of being in an information super center type of environment where I must know everything about everything at the drop of the hat.  Certainly, I am a devotee of words and ideas, but generally, I have always been a little outside the entire data and technology scene that most members of my generation have become so engrossed in.

Maybe it's just me...
