HOW TO EXPLAIN BIG DATA TO YOUR GRANDMOTHER Albert Einstein once said "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." With this in mind, we challenged ourselves to explain the term 'Big Data' in a way that everyone, including our grandmothers, can understand.

A collection of data can be big, but a collection of Big Data is also uncategorized and not easily searchable. To structure and make sense of it, we need advanced systems and technologies.
It is estimated that over 90% of digital data is unstructured
