Big data and their epistemological challenge
Philosophy and Technology 25 (4):435-437 (2012)
Abstract
Between 2006 and 2011, humanity accumulated 1,600 EB of data. As a result of this growth, there is now more data produced than available storage. This article explores the problem of “Big Data,” arguing for an epistemological approach as a possible solution to this ever-increasing challenge.Author's Profile
