Big Data: Coming to a Little Screen Near You
Pop the popcorn and fire up your favorite movie and TV show streaming service. While this might sound like the start of an average evening after work, you're not alone. No, I don't mean we’re being visited from another dimension. I mean the service you're using to stream your favorite show is monitoring what you're doing.
What shows are you watching? When do you watch them? How do you watch them; on a mobile device, connected to home wifi, away from home? All of these questions are being answered every time you hit play, and the big players are saving this metadata in their own “Big Data†treasure chests.
