Data helps solve problems.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The answers to today's most important scientific, business, and social problems lie in data.
Data is the fabric of the modern world: just like we walk down pavements, so we trace routes through data, and build knowledge and products out of it.
Data is the kind of ubiquitous resource that we can shape to provide new innovations and new insights, and it's all around us, and it can be mined very easily.
Data is cost. It takes money to create data, store it, clean it, and throw resources at it to learn anything from it.
Our ability to do great things with data will make a real difference in every aspect of our lives.
I'm kind of fascinated by this idea that we can surround ourselves with information: we can just pile up data after data after data and arm ourselves with facts and yet still not be able to answer the questions that we have.
I love data. I think it's very important to get it right, and I think it's good to question it.
Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
The reason I spend so much of my time doing science is that the whole point of science is to help people resolve conflicting claims by saying: 'Show me the data.'
When we have all data online it will be great for humanity. It is a prerequisite to solving many problems that humankind faces.
