The people who are thinking most about big data right now are corporations and governments.

Sharing data allows us to research, communicate, consume media, buy and sell, play games, and more. In return, businesses develop products, scientists undertake research, and governments use data to enable voting, inform policies, collect tax, and provide better public services.

I clearly say yes to Big Data, yes to greater security and convenience, but no to paternalism and Big Brother.'

Many well-meaning attempts to address public concern about privacy reflect an outdated understanding of the contemporary data ecosystem.

Everything is changing now that we are in the cloud in terms of sharing our data, understanding our data using new techniques like machine learning.

With big data comes big responsibilities.

Apple knows a lot of data. Facebook knows a lot of data. Amazon knows a lot of data. Microsoft used to, and still does with some people, but in the newer world, Microsoft knows less and less about me. Xbox still knows a lot about people who play games. But those are the big five, I guess.

Big Data is just that - big. But, it's a term that is largely misunderstood and difficult to explain.

Information agencies operate in an industry that values data. Restricted access to information is what makes it valuable.

Everyone knows, or should know, that everything we type on our computers or say into our cell phones is being disseminated throughout the datasphere. And most of it is recorded and parsed by big data servers. Why do you think Gmail and Facebook are free? You think they're corporate gifts? We pay with our data.

What I would love to see is art that explicitly addresses not personal intimacies but anonymous intimacies: the vast collections of facts about you and me that now exist in giant server banks.

Removed from 'Gmail' doesn't necessarily mean removed from all Google servers. In fact, your old emails are the data set from which Google models our behaviors - the real product it is offering its advertisers.

Government and businesses cannot function without enormous amounts of data, and many people have to have access to that data.

I collect a lot of data. We all do.

People are stunned to hear that one company has data files on 185 million Americans.
