  • Week 1 To paraphrase the late Douglas Adams: Big data is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think your collection of movies, pictures, and music is big, but that's just peanuts to big data. Big Data is big in two distinct ways. First, as the name suggests, Big Data is about how to deal with large amounts of data. Tech giants like Google and Facebook store exabytes of data. While multiple exabytes of data is an impressive amount of data, it is nowhere near the theoretical limits. Second, Big Data is a wide area of study that spans a wide range of technologies and concepts. Because of the size and rapid rate of change of the subject, we will only be able to cover a small fraction of Big Data topics in this course.
