INTRODUCTION ON BIG DATA

BIG Data

Big Data is a term that describes the large volume of data in both structured and unstructured that inundates a business on a day to day basis.

HISTORY OF BIG DATA

The term “big data” refers to data that is so large, fast, or complex that is difficult that it’s difficult or impossible to process using traditional methods. The act of accessing and storing a large amount of information for analytics has been around for a long time. But the concept of big data gained momentum in the early 2000s when industry analyst Doug Laney articulated the now mainstream definition of big data.


CHARACTERISTICS OF BIG DATA

  • Variety
  • Velocity
  • Volume


TYPES OF BIG DATA

  1. Structured:- Structured is one of the types of data and by structure data, we mean data that can be processed, stored, and retrieved in a fixed format. It refers to highly organized information that can be readily and seamlessly stored and accessed from databases by simple search engine algorithms.
  2. Unstructured:-  Unstructured data refers to the data that lacks any specific form or structure whatsoever. This makes it very difficult and time-consuming to process and analyze unstructured data. Eg. - Email
  3. Semi-structured:- It is a type of big data. Semi-structured data pertains to the data containing both the formats mentioned above, that is structured and unstructured data. To be precise, it refers to the data that although has not been classified under a particular repository (database) yet contains vital information or tags that segregate individual elements within the data.



SOME APPLICATIONS OF BIG DATA

  • Healthcare: Big data has already a large difference in the health care sector.
  • Academia: As nowadays it is also helping enhance education today. Numerous online classes are running.
  • Banking: The banking sector relies on big data for fraud detection. It can efficiently detect the misuse of debit cards and credit cards.
  • Manufacturing: It helps to create a transparent infrastructure and predicting uncertainties that can affect the business adversely.
  • IT: One of the largest users of big data, IT companies around the world are using big data by combining it with AI, ML, and the IT sector.


This is the article on “big data” in this article in which we define the types of big data, characteristics of big data applications, etc.

  Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency. Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical  quantum computing  and  qu

Due to the continuously growing natality rate, increased availability of healthcare and food production has led to decreased mortality and further proliferated, population outburst on earth. This has caused strain on the energy sources and thereafter there has been an endless search for the most convenient, fast, and long-lasting method of renewable source of energy. According to the sources, from 2011 to 2021, renewable energy has grown from 20% to 28% of the global electricity supply. Fossil energy shrank from 68% to 62%, and nuclear from 12% to 10%. The share of hydropower decreased from 16% to 15% while power from sun and wind increased from 2% to 10%. Biomass and geothermal energy grew from 2% to 3% . Among many energy sources, Biomass can be one of the most trusted renewable energy sources, due to its abundance of availability present in nature. Biomass refers to organic material from plants or animals. This includes wood, sewage, and ethanol (which comes from corn or other plant

What do mean by phishing ?  Phishing is a type of online fraud when con artists pretend to be reputable companies or organizations in order to deceive victims into giving up personal information like passwords or credit card details. Phishing efforts can take the shape of emails, websites, or even text messages, and can appear authentic at first glance. A phishing attempt can be identified in a number of ways, including misspellings, odd syntax, and sudden requests for personal information. Do not respond to the message if you believe you are being targeted by a phisher; instead, report the incident to the relevant authorities. Phishing in India !!!! India is a vast and developing country. Digitalization is being done at a speedy rate. This brings a lot of ease for the general public but also creates a pool of opportunities for scammers, hackers, and con men. As per an article by Times of India Between April 1, 2020, and March 31, 2022, clients lost roughly 1500 crores in these scams.
