I think this presentation is a good start for one who wants to know from where Big Data came from, because i found it very introductory. The second half is more interesting. I liked a lot the hidden variables example, very ilustrative.
Big data is the face of new world. Nobody know who much the length & breadth this concept have, but the bottom line is the huge data and its analysis will transform the way we live and do business. Big data will do wonders for us.
"We are creating as much information in 10 minutes as the entire human history up until 2000." If that is true, then 99.99999 percent was sampled noise.
can that connection between humans (grid), create a prototype of global conscience? (humans that behave as brain cells and internet connection as neurons)
I'm trying to listen to his presentation, but his poor jokes and the way he nervously walks around, really distracts my attention and besides of that annoys me. I hope he will do something about his presentation skills the next time, cause these are things he could improve by practicing...
+Efsane YC he's not a comedian, and he's not an expert on public speaking, he doesn't need to be. His purpose is to inform the masses on the idea of big data, and he's doing his best to do that. Give the guy a break, and try to hear his message, rather than nitpicking on his social mannerisms.
+George Wu If you would read my post carefully, you would know that I don't mock with the men or disrespect him in anyway. I only mention that these things could be improved by practising. And it really is.
+George Wu +Efsane YC I appreciate your comments, but the truth is: I give dozens of public lectures every year with none of those issues. The nature of a TedX talk is very very different >> they impose a large number of constraints, in the staging, in the setup of the theatre & audience, in the filming & recording, in the way that they choose to show or not show certain slides during the presentation, in the speed with which they run one speaker off the stage to start the next speaker, etc. They didn't give us a chance to rehearse in such a micro-managed heavily supervised environment before we went live! I am not a stage actor, so I am not used to that level of stage direction before and during my talks. There is nothing casual or comfortable in that situation, unlike conference talks or other speaking engagements.
skip to 5:50. Welcome

Excellent information about applications of big data

Great video!
great talk, if not with the breathing problem of the speaker
Awesome. Close your eyes and it's Jeff Goldblum.
Kirk Borne, why did people buy 700% more strawberry Pop-Tarts?

Kirk Borne well that explains a lot actually. Thank you for your feedback!
Good Presentation
Ready for TEDx recommendations?
In China, we hope to have more friends to join us to do Internet big data network and software as well as IT Education
big data is a new concept to face many original theories.
amazing!
That opening joke though!

Why would it be a problem?
Information overload... Clutter, basically. Data scientists jobs can become rather difficult when they're looking for a needle in a stack of pins
