That’s something like five exabytes of data” -- Google CEO Erik Schmidt Gigabyte = 10^9 = 1,000,000,000 Terabyte = 10^12 = 1,000,000,000,000 Petabyte = 10^15 = 1,000,000,000,000,000 Exabyte = 10^18 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 OK, there’s a lot of data Increased to 800 billion gigabytes in 2009.

Notas do Editor
- What was the problem? Took 7 years to tabulate, using people - not a job I’d want
- 24 values = 4.5 bits, so 360 bits of data or 45 bytes x 62M = 2.8GB. Held onto data for a few months.
- In 1880, it was 1-2 GB of data. And they couldn’t order bigger people to process the data faster
- Many years like this. So what changed? The world wide web, and social services
- 1999 - 2 exabytes generated in the entire year Images, movies, sensors But what’s driving interest in big data is two things -
- Two Stanford students were trying to solve the problem of divining a web page's "importance".Separate from search - e.g. if two pages had roughly the same content, which to show first? Finding the dominant eigenvalue and eigenvector of a matrix Google came up with systems for storing & processing the web
- We’ll talk about this in detail later
