We live in a Big Data world. “Every two days now we create as much information as we did from the dawn of civilization up until 2003,” Google co-founder Eric Schmidt, told a technology conference in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, in the U.S. in 2010. If anything, the pace of information creation has even quickened.
