Not too many years ago, “big data” was a new and unfamiliar phrase that cropped up before anyone really defined it.  We never did reach consensus on a precise meaning, even as the term slipped into common parlance and big data has now transformed what’s possible in business and society. Some people still fuss over an exact definition; but as I’ve argued here before, that’s a moot point.  We may not have an exact meaning; but we know what big data has come to mean for our economy and for our world.
