Right now, our phones are connected to the internet, our laptops are connected to the internet, and many of us even have our televisions connected to the internet.

The IoT revolution envisions a world where everything is connected to the internet: thermostats, cars, backpacks, bus stations, necklaces, sidewalks, buildings, and even some day, people.

Data Dharma: The Fourfold Path of Big Data

Over the past decade alone, big data analytics (BDA) has seen huge leaps economically, technologically, and theoretically.
