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 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.

People believe the best way to learn from the data is to have a hypothesis and then go check it, but the data is so complex that someone who is working with a data set will not know the most significant things to ask. That's a huge problem.

Data helps solve problems.

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.

Our ability to do great things with data will make a real difference in every aspect of our lives.

The fact is that data are worth a lot of money.

The answers to today's most important scientific, business, and social problems lie in data.

I collect a lot of data. We all do.

Data is cost. It takes money to create data, store it, clean it, and throw resources at it to learn anything from it.
