by digging for Data, you could stumble on a goldmine

Data in the 21st century is like oil in the 18th century: an untapped, immensely valuable asset.

Technology, through machine learning, can use that data to improve our lives, may it be by filtering spam email or telling us which vitamins we need. Like oil, for those who see data’s fundamental value and learn to extract and use it there will be huge rewards.

Machine learning is a way for technology to turn big data into every day applications, and the data itself are already part of our lives. Films like ‘Her’, about a man who falls in love with his artificial intelligence device,’ are smash hits at the box office. Retailers are using data about our previous purchases to recommend others we might want to buy.
