There's a lot of talk these days about how governments use all the data they can put their hands on, to monitor every individual in the world. Capabilities offered by big data storage and analytic processing are immense, when in the hands of professional, capable data scientists.

Nowadays we hear a lot about big data, cloud, or the big data analytics on cloud. One of the underlying needs here is the data storage. It is stored as 0’s and 1’s in some datacenters. It isn’t cheap to maintain all of this data. Looking at the heat generated by these datacenters, it isn’t even environment friendly.

Indirectly of course. There are other factors too, such as regulations which make it illegal to sell un-pasteurized milk, horse meat, foie gras, etc., but the biggest factor influencing what the average American eats is the margin the grocery store makes on the products it sells. This explains why you can't get redcurrants or passion fruits anymore, but you'll find plenty of high energy drinks and food rich in sugar…

I looked at the job titles of my 7,500 LinkedIn connections, and found about 4,900 unique job titles. The vast majority of my connections work in data science or some analytic field. Some very popular job titles do not contain an analytic keyword: for instance CEO, Consultant, Founder.
