How Much Data
do you think you generate in one day?
Data is everywhere in the world today,
with GPS on our phones we are constantly being tracked, the internet monitors
how often you’re online, Facebook and Twitter know all the latest gossip before
you, and Google knows what you’re about to ask within just a few letters. Yet
it’s scary to think how normal this is for us. The idea that someone out there
is receiving all this information about you. History has shown that statistics can tell if
someone is going to become ill before there are even any signs.
However,
statistic are an amazing thing that scientists use all the time for example
this was how doctors discovered the relationship between smoking and lung cancer.
