In his recent book, “The Industries of the Future”, Alec Ross talks about data being the raw material of the information age in much the same way iron was the raw material of the industrial age. As a result, he says, those who control data access, who understand it and who can interpret it would rule the world in the near future. Think of this: robots powered by data in the cloud; made possible in part by professionals who understand how to leverage data and who know how to do analytics. With no stretch of the imagination, analytics would become a core required skill for many jobs.
