As technology progresses, more companies are producing huge amounts of data as a by-product of their day-to-day operations. While I’m not one to claim that “most businesses are practically drowning” in a sea of data, it’s fair to say that companies wanting a long future had better start taking Big Data seriously. To put this in perspective, many pundits in the field predicted a few years back that Big Data will double in size every couple of years until 2020.

Then you find the raw materials or the base kit to start building from. That’s the whole idea of open source software: the world should all be one giant Lego kit, where developers of all stripes can share skills, code, and create new and different programs to build the world they want to see.
