Big data is a big deal, make no mistake about it, but it’s probably not as big a deal as it’s going to be eventually when we really figure out how to make good use of it. For now, we have this muddled middle where we understand the value of the data, but most organizations and governments don’t know how to use that data to its full potential.

We are feeling confused about big data today. It’s like something right on the edge of our consciousness that we know is important, but we can’t quite put our finger on how to make the best use of it.

By using technology as a tool, humans can enhance our own capabilities and make the best use of computers and the technology we have created. While the rate of technological change is increasing ever more rapidly, we still tend to overestimate just how advanced we are. Clearly, we still need humans to help make sense of the data we are collecting.
