Abstract
Data comes in many forms. The current age of big data floods us with numbers accessible from the Web. We have trading data available in real time (which caused some problems with automatic trading algorithms, so some trading sites impose a delay of 20 min or so to make this data less real-time). Wal-Mart has real-time data from its many cash registers enabling it to automate intelligent decisions to manage its many inventories. Currently a wrist device called a Fitbit is very popular, enabling personal monitoring of individual health numbers, which have the ability to be shared in real-time with physicians or ostensibly EMT providers. The point is that there is an explosion of data in our world.
