Question

How are your digital activities contributing to generation of Big data?

Answer 1

Our daily digital activities contribute to the generation of big data in many ways. Whenever we use smartphones, computers, or the Internet, we create digital data.

For example:

• Searching for information on the Internet creates search data.
• Using social media generates posts, photos, videos, likes, and comments.
• Online shopping creates data about products searched, purchased, and reviewed.
• Using apps such as maps generates location and travel data.
• Sending emails and messages creates communication data.
• Watching videos and listening to music generates viewing and listening preferences.
