Big Data is a top technology trend for 2012 according to Forrester Research. The Economist said that Big Data is a new game changing asset and The Harvard Business Review termed it as a scientific revolution. Scientific Revolution? Because it is data-intensive computing to unify, theorize, experiment, and do simulation at scale.
It is also termed the Fourth Paradigm – “The techniques and technologies for such data-intensive science are so different that it is worth distinguishing data-intensive science from computational science as a new, fourth paradigm for scientific exploration.”
