Any big or small hike
always starts with the
First step!
We live in times in which innovation erupts
from all quarters of society and economy,
novelty is present in our daily lives, new
technologies and disruption are in every corner
... or maybe not.
Despite very different opinions about the
phenomenon itself, the reality is that the
catalytic dimension that this catastrophe
brought with it was sufficient for a collective
and generalized bath of reality on the silent
transformation and disruption that had been
experienced for several years, in silence, in very
reserved contexts. Today we are experiencing
much more of a “new use of existing
technologies” than the “emergence of new
technologies”, although many continue to
think this way.
Any technological innovation starts with the
development of prototypes and contextualized
applications, often in controlled environments,
showing some limitations. However, as
science advances, the period between “the
idea” and “the application” is getting shorter
and shorter.
It is also a fact that technologies such as
Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality or
Blockchain, despite existing for many years
now, have generated more results and found
more new fields of application in the more
recent years than in the beginning, in
alignment with Moore's law. The speed has
been staggering!
EDITORIAL
In the midst of this period of rapid and
historic change is DATA. Never so much
attention has been paid to data or its
importance so recognized.
Also, there has never been a higher
processing and computing capacity than
today. In 2020, in just one minute, 500 hours of
video were uploaded to Youtube, 69,444 people
applied for jobs on LinkedIn and 41,666,677
messages were sent on WhatsApp… just in a
minute… ; these are only 3 statistics of many
(1)
others as an example of the data generated by
the 4.9 billion Internet users that exist today .
(2)
At this rate, it is estimated that in 2025, 463
exabytes of data will be created per day
worldwide, which is equivalent to 212,765,957
(3)
DVDs per day!
With newDATAmagazine Nº01 we take the
first step towards what we hope to be, in the set
of its many steps, a full of curiosity approach,
criticism, disruption, about everything that is
done on our planet that involves DATA..
Welcome to the world of data!
Welcome to newDATAmagazine!
