It comes from phones, cars, roads, power lines, waterways, food crates, and innumerable other items you'd never think of as computers. This data speaks volumes about our collective behavior and society - so let's use it to do something incredible! IBM invited developers and data enthusiasts to take a deep dive into real world civic issues using big data and IBM Bluemix's Analytics for Hadoop service. They analyzed one of our curated datasets or brought their own and used Hadoop to create clickable and interactive data visualizations highlighting insights they found.
