Implications of big data for individuals.

Big data frequently involves the gathering, storing, and processing of substantial volumes of personal data, which raises questions about privacy and the potential for misuse of sensitive data.

Discrimination: If the data used to create the algorithms only reflects a limited range of experiences or results, big data algorithms may continue to be biassed and discriminatory. Discriminatory consequences and judgements, such as unfair credit or job decisions, may result from this.

Job loss: Big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have the potential to replace human labour and cause job losses by automating a variety of functions.

Historical Development of Big Data

Image
Prior to 1980, corporations stored and analysed data on mainframe computers. Two important technologies had a critical role in the early creation of data centres as we know them today. The first was the advent of personal computers (PCs), which grew in popularity as Microsoft's Windows operating system became the global standard. Sun Microsystems' invention of the network system protocol, which allowed PC users to access network files, was the second. Following that, microcomputers began to occupy mainframe rooms as servers, and the spaces were nicknamed data centres. Several key events have affected the industry's evolution since then, most notably the advent of virtualization software and the shift to cloud computing. The timeline below demonstrates these and other major turning points in the history of big data.   In 1943, the United Kingdom developed the first data-processing computer capable of breaking Nazi codes. In 1945, ENIAC, the first electrical general-p...
