3. What is Big Data? Google processes more than 24 petabytes of data per day, a volume that is thousands of times the quantity of all printed material in the U.S. Library of congress (Mayer-schonberger & Cukier, 2013). Source: huffingtonpost.com, 2014

4. How do we Analyze Information? Society has depended on using samples when faced with large numbers in the analog era.

5. Away From Exactitude Our mindset about data must change from quantifying as precisely as possible to accept an increase in inaccuracies

6. Away from Causality The age-old cause and effect rule that used to be applied to studying information is changing.

7. The Shift from Physical to Intellectual Data-processing (Datafication) techniques that were until recently only available to spy agencies and research labs, have been democratized.
