“Big data is at the foundation of all of the megatrends that are happening today, from social to mobile to the cloud to gaming.”

– Chris Lynch

The aforementioned quote is something that we strongly believe here at Dataconomy. It’s why we aim to be the most comprehensive source for news, articles and events. There is no doubt that Big Data, and Data Science more broadly, is one of the most interesting and dare we say it, “Hottest”, fields today. As a validation of this, we learnt that the Big Data industry and the EU will be partnering to provide a €2.5B strong impetus to Europe’s future data ambitions. A clear sign that Big Data’s significance will continue to grow.

We also learnt this week that VoloMetrix has secured $12M to help companies use data to match employee performance with the rest of the organisation. This could certainly be an interesting idea that companies might move towards in the future.

And if privacy is a concern of yours, then you’ll be happy to know that Blackphone, dubbed “The World’s Most Secure Smartphone”, revealed that an Android Tablet is on its way!

Four Routes to Becoming a Data Scientist

It‘s true to say that the leading Data Science professionals are frighteningly intelligent Ph.D qualified Masters of the Universe. They have been at the cutting edge of this fast developing industry for the last few years. They have increasingly large and complex teams around them, many of whom have done Masters in Data Science or Computing, but as the years go by yet more are entering the industry from other routes.

To tap into apps, users must first sign up. The pesky asterisk deems your full name, email, date of birth as compulsory information, but also often gender, a ZIP/postal code, address, phone number and – if you are using a subscription service – bank card details. This is easily enough information to create a sketchy profile on any individual – and that is before you start using their service. When that begins, you will be, whether you realise it or not, voluntarily offering the company snippets into your day to day life, primarily intended for people you actually know.
