2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created in the world each day. 90% of all the data collected in human history has happened since 2009. The Cleveland Clinic estimates that in healthcare alone there is over $300 billion in untapped value from big healthcare data.

The people who learn to harvest and harness this data on a large scale are going to be the next wave of tycoons.

Data collection technology far outpaced the technology used to apply the data. Health care and government are both due for massive investments. In some ways the technology still isn't there but I expect it to evolve quickly as investments are made.


Government data is unique in that it can and should be made public. The government needs to be in the business of providing information and information about how government operates is just the tip of the iceberg.

Yeah, this will be another great opportunity for us to provide hundreds of billions more to BRIC countries, or whatever other country we outsource our work too.

This is not a technology problem. It's a business problem. Even SharePoint 2010 comes prepackaged with an organizational data analysis tool. Hell, Excel is more powerful than what 90% of executives were using 10 years ago.

Maybe, but I haven't run into any data outsourcing projects yet. That's probably due to a combination of lessons learned from the 90's and security concerns.

This seems right. But the tycoons will be the ones that figure that stuff out and also throw up regulatory roadblocks to others doing the same. If someone figures how to make the harvesting and harnessing of data profitable, others will realize controlling the source of data will be wildly profitable.

I fully expect the governments of the rest of the world to invest heavily in this while the US sits around and waits for the "invisible hand" to solve all our problems while we fall even further behind.
