Stop Hyping Big Data and Start Paying Attention to 'Long Data' http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

Our species can?t seem to escape big data. We have more data inputs, storage, and computing resources than ever, so Homo sapiens naturally does what it has always done when given new tools: it goes even bigger, higher, and bolder. We did it in buildings and now we?re doing it in data. But no matter how big that data is or what insights we glean from it, it is still just a snapshot: a moment in time. That?s why I think we need to stop getting stuck only on big data and start thinking about long data.
