Hadoop
Big
data, it's more than a buzzword, it's here and now. I've recently been
fortunate enough to by given a Safari Online books account, and started
exploring Hadoop. Consider this:
"We
live in the data age. It’s not easy to measure the total volume of data stored
electronically, but an IDC estimate put the size of the “digital universe” at
0.18 zettabytes in 2006 and is forecasting a tenfold growth by 2011 to 1.8
zettabytes.[2] A zettabyte is 1021 bytes, or equivalently one thousand
exabytes, one million petabytes, or one billion terabytes. That’s roughly the
same order of magnitude as one disk drive for every person in the world.
This
flood of data is coming from many sources. Consider the following:
·
The
New York Stock Exchange generates about one terabyte of new trade data per day.
·
Facebook
hosts approximately 10 billion photos, taking up one petabyte of storage.
·
Ancestry.com,
the genealogy site, stores around 2.5 petabytes of data."

This really is a must see. The capabilities of the human

Low power chips are
gaining ground and will probably start melding with nano-technology in the next
decade or two to create swarms of networked devices. Imagine, for instance,
that you are able to save money on processors in the digitally savvy home of the
near future by having a system that load balances across all devices in the
house. For instance you are running something intensive on your tablet and it
is able to enlist unused processors from the cars in the garage to speed things
up. This of course leads to the inevitable time in the future when smart
toasters take over the world. So I'm throwing out my toaster before it's too
late. Interesting article by someone in the know: Why
Ultra-Low Power Computing Will Change Everything, at The Java Source.
