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

We're entering a new world in which data may be more important than software.

It's difficult to imagine the power that you're going to have when so many different sorts of data are available.

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

With faster Internet and better computers, you'd better believe we're creating and consuming more digital data.

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.

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

We're rapidly entering a world where everything can be monitored and measured. But the big problem is going to be the ability of humans to use, analyze and make sense of the data.

I think you can have a ridiculously enormous and complex data set, but if you have the right tools and methodology then it's not a problem.
