• 1831 Telegraph … 1876 Telephone … 1902 Radio … 1973 Mobile Phone
142 years
• 1752 Franklin discovers electricity … 1879 Light bulb … 1882 1st power plant
130 years
• 1903 First Flight … 1939 First jet … 1969 Moon Landing
66 years
• 1947 Transistor invented … 1971 microprocessor … 1975 1st PC … 1991
Internet 28 yearsAll this innovation was
accomplished with less
computing power than we hold
in our hands today … Imagine

3. WE ARE ALREADY DATA DRIVEN. AREN’T
WE?
The availability of tools and
data has been prevalent in
business and industry for
years right?
• Spread Sheets
• MRP Systems
• Relational Databases
• Six Sigma
• Metrics
Yes, all businesses use data and information to
make decisions. … BUT thanks to new technology
it is changing accelerating exponentially today.
The availability of more and better information is
significant.

4. THIS REALLY IS DIFFERENT
The change taking place today is a tectonic shift in potential and
opportunity.
Exponential growth in data and connection
Rate of data generation
1992: 100GB / Day 2018: 50,000 GB / Second!
Connection
1960: 3B people on earth 2016: 3B people – on the internet!
All data ever created
history-2016: 10% 2016-2018: 90%
The untapped potential available in analyzing and
learning from all this data presents the greatest
opportunity to advance every aspect of life and
business in human history.
Now its over 4B
That’s 43M times more

5. A WORD ON SCALE
• Internet traffic in 2016 reached 1
Zetabyte
• By 2020 it is projected that 1.7MB of
data will be generated every second
for every person on earth … that is
2X 2016.
2 Terrabytes of data would fill ~60
billion 32MB ipads … enough to build
the great wall of china TWICE

6. WHERE IS THE DATA COMING FROM?
The Internet of Things
50-200 billion devices by 2020
$1.7T in spending by 2020
$10-15 Trillion added to global GDP
Less than 1% of things than can be connected actua
85% of people don’t know what IoT is
2008 connected devices > people on earth
2020 connected devices > 26 / person on earth
There are opportunities
everywhere in Big Data

Potential by
Industry
Aerospace $0.6T
Automotive $0.7T
Electricity $1.3T

Is it too late to act?
only 0.5% of all big data is
used
75% of companies say big data can
transform results
85% of US economy has not realized
the potential of big data
90% of Big data is unstructured,
It is not too late, there is much to learn!
We are at the beginning of this journey
