Big Data for Non-Marketeers...

Big Data refers to a huge amount of information that is collected from various sources. This information can be about people, things, events, or anything really. Think of it as a giant puzzle made up of many smaller pieces.

Imagine you have a friend who loves to take pictures. They take pictures of everything they see: animals, trees, buildings, and even their friends. Over time, they have taken so many pictures that they can't keep track of all of them on their own.

So, they decide to organize their pictures using a special computer program. This program helps them sort the pictures by different categories, like animals, trees, or buildings. It can also find similarities among the pictures, like if there are many pictures of dogs or cats.

The program also helps them find patterns and trends. For example, it can show them which places they have taken the most pictures of, or which animals they see the most.

Big Data is similar. Instead of pictures, it involves collecting and organizing a lot of information from many different sources. This information can come from things like websites, social media, sensors, or even from the things we buy at the store.

Companies and organizations use Big Data to understand people's behaviors, preferences, and trends. It helps them make better decisions, improve products and services, and understand what people like or need.

So, Big Data is like a big collection of puzzle pieces that are put together using special computer programs to help us learn more about the world and make better choices.
