1) Big data is getting exponentially larger each year due to growth in social media, e-commerce, mobile devices, and the internet of things. However, the quality and relevance of data is more important than just the quantity.
2) When data is enriched by linking it to other contextual data sources and then visualized effectively, it can provide meaningful insights. However, regulations and privacy concerns must also be adequately addressed.
3) While big data can improve efficiency and business strategies, its primary benefit should be better customer service, experiences, and identification of new products/services. End user trust and perception of privacy is paramount.
