Big Data will impact every part of your life | Charlie Stryker | TEDxFultonStreet

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. 2,500,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of data (2.5 exabytes) every day is what we currently generate. The mid-decade turning point we are now experiencing is an unprecedented ability to process these data, to generate insights. These insights, gleaned from new data processing techniques, can impact how we shop, how we find jobs, dating, and even how doctors diagnose illnesses.
Dr. Charles W. Stryker is the Founder and President of a professional advisory firm, Venture Development Center, Inc. (VDC), and he has been recently recognized as the Data Innovator of the Year 2013. His business has a focused practice of assisting “Big Data” firms in creating, developing and commercializing Information Services properties.
He has served on the board of a number of both public and private companies. His current board appointments include: Avention, Data Mentors, Datamyx, Geoscape, Innography, Jobvite, NetFactor, Netwise, RDC, The Retail Equation, Triton Technologies, and V12.
Dr. Stryker has received the BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering and the Ph.D. in Computer Science from New York University. He has been an active speaker and author on the topic of database product development. In addition to these academic credentials, from 1991 to 1999 Dr. Stryker was a part time faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School where he taught a number of courses in its Entrepreneurial Center.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I think about the central limit theorem which states that, in most situations, when independent random variables are added, their properly normalized sum tends toward a normal distribution (informally a "bell curve") even if the original variables themselves are not normally distributed. In every proces we look for the best possible combination of factors to get an output whether its cancer treatment or production of cars. The ability to get massive data to optimize processes by performing on line real time statistics ie the LEAN 6 sigma methodology will enable us to improve a lot of products and services.

SCARY beyond description!

[@Till113]

Big Data is awesome and will even better in the future! But it stands in conflict with private data, the system will knows us better when we do and everybody who have access to the system knows exactly what kind of person we are. There will be no secrets anymore! Big Data is heaven and hell at the same time.

Überheld . 6

[@coreycox2345]

Some of these things sound fantastic, Uberheld.

[@Tengoquecambiar]

I have to talk about that topic. Could you tell me something that i can use?

[@romanoscar4742]

i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow lost the password. I love any help you can offer me

[@fredericknixon4477]

@Roman Oscar instablaster =)

[@davidsonstreet]

Wow! So I won't even have to plan my trips because big data will tell me what people like me already liked? That's so great! I will never have to try new things by my self! What a relief!

[@MoonchildCH]

Exactly what I was thinking. Rather limiting.

[@Shaolinthemple]

Hmm. That's really not the point

[@tryingmybest206]

But this is up to you

[@kdilli6426]

The data is there already to answer many questions. The problem we have is connecting the dots. now just imagine a world with powerful AI, who is able to connect all the dots with the data we continue to provide to it..... It will be the answer to all of our problems, but also could be the end to us, considering WE are the biggest problem facing the world today.

[@michaelparton7618]

or just look up cambridge analytica lol they connected the dots for political reasons and got shut the f down

[@user-mq8xu2rw4b]

I'm so surprised that big data can be used in many areas. I think there is no secret anywhere someday. Because data is stored in software. It's important to manage the data correctly.

[@ReedoAce]

Blockchain

[@allenxiong5674]

new technoloy, i like

[@iamshango3005]

Humans don't realize how dangerous and serious this is.

[@benknosby2758]

What is the name of the product that searches millions of cancer cases?

[@LoorahPwn]

So... how is the data of the food we're buying at a grocery store being related to the buyer? When my products are getting scanned I don't state my health condition or my personal data, I just buy them and leave. Sure if you pay by card I can see that there is a possibility of maybe finding some connection to the consumer but even that seems a bit far-fetched

[@AdamCorkett]

lots of people use loyalty cards, credit cards, debit cards - the data is there and its only a short trip then to being linked and cross-referenced to other systems.

[@Qb-my2mr]

How can I get started with?

[@user-qh2et5os3f]

Cancan

[@BeyondBorders00]

Great

[@ayubaalim2201]

complexity

[@pavelcortes6328]

2022 this is so accurate... and weird

[@bwgower]

what did he mean when he said fat has no bearing on health?

[@SabrinaDacosta]

He means fat in food. Fat is actually necessary because it is how vitamins are transported throughout the body. So a fat-free diet is not healthy. Of course there are good fats and bad fats...

[@yapyixian2830]

can someone summarize for me?

[@housesolace7649]

Um, Fats do have a HUGE impact on health lol. Its just about which one you're consuming- good or bad fats. But it most definitely DOES impact your health if its bad fats.

[@iamshango3005]

Way too late for that
