大数据及其成因

Big Data and Its Cause of Formation

大数据的成因源于信息技术的发展。回顾半个多世纪人类信息社会的历史,1966年摩尔定律的提出,使晶体管越做越小、成本越来越低,为大数据现象的形成奠定了物理基础,这相当于铸器,人类有能力制造巨鼎盛载海量的数据;1989年数据挖掘技术的产生,让大数据实现了"大价值";2004年出现的社交媒体,则把全世界每个人都转变成了潜在的数据生成器,向摩尔定律铸成的巨鼎当中贡献数据,这是"大容量"形成的主要原因。本文通过分析大数据的静态的概念和动态的成因,使人们更清楚地理解大数据的特点。

The rise of big data is stemming from the development of information technology. The exponential improvement of the capabilities of many digital electronic devices that is predicted by Moore＇s law in 1966, which is becoming a driving force of the phenomenon of big data, has dramat- ically enhanced the impact of information society over the half century. Big data has been creating ＂ big value＂ since the development of data mining in 1989. And there is an increasing trend towards u- sing social media monitoring tools that allow very single person in the world transforms into the data generator since 2004, which is the main reason of shaping the ＂high-capacity＂, The thesis is aiming to make a clear understanding of the features by analysis of the definition and cause of formation of big data.
