billion things

There will be 7.6 billion internet users

By 2020,“1.7 megabytes of new infor-mation will be created every second

for every human being on the planet”

By 2020, our digital universe will grow from 4.4 zettabytes today to around 44

zettabytes (That’s 44 trillion gigabytes!)

251 zettabyte is 10^21 or

10,000,000,000,000,000,

By 2020

1 million GB =1 petabyte =

13 years of HD TV consumed (24/7)

IoT - Gartner predicts that 25 billion things will be connected to

the internet by 2020

If our digital universe roughly holds 4.4 Zettabytes of information, and we are only analyzing 0.5% of the data that we create, we are led to question the intrinsic value of the information we are creating.

Russel Lincoln Ackoffs Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom (DIKW) pyramid relates the different types of infor-mation and their function. The IoT revolution will collect large amounts of raw data. But will we able to translate this data into more meaningful information?

Wisdom- When information is put into action giving us insight to the “long-term consequences of any act”

Knowledge- Information put into practice.

Information- Organizes raw data into coherent patterns; can be likened to alphabet letters composed into a sentence.

Data- The elemental construction of information; can be likened to alphabet letters randomly stringed together.
