The Usages of Big Data

Comparing those three sources related to the usage of big data, intuitively, I can see the academic source is longest and comprehensive, non-academic primary source is medium and non-academic secondary source is the shortest and abridged. Academic source tells the usage of big data with the topic definition, detailed explanations and test results. Non-academic primary source tells the usage of big data with it's mechanism. "The more unrelated the datasets we are using in a model, the more likely they are to reveal unexpected correlations between customers’ behaviors in different settings." Non-academic secondary source tells the usage of big data without explanation. "Some hospitals use big data to detect blood infections in premature babies."

First Impression of IS101

I think the IS101 course is learning something in the real meaning of "practical" unlike History or subjects that you may never use it in workplace. At least, you won't tell a history story to your colleagues once a week or put a "history expert" into your resume, right? On the other side, after this course, I will tell every company that I am a Microsoft Office Specialist or Expert (Hope that I can get an expert certificate.) and it is possibly that I will use Microsoft Office frequently in my work.
