Big Data has generated a great deal of ‘buzz’, but given the massive, unstructured and potentially overwhelming amount of information generated, there is debate over the amount of value that can be derived. However, new technologies are emerging to help solve the unique problems presented by Big Data, providing tools that could elicit real insight. One example is Google’s BigQuery, which can run queries on petabytes of data in just few seconds.

User Experience (UX) is an area of design focused on the holistic interaction a user has with a product or a service. This includes the user interface (UI), but goes way beyond that, also covering the user’s expectations and even emotions, as well as other intangible factors.

From personal fitness devices that follow our every movement and transmit the results to precise fitness tracking apps, to cars that notify us well before a maintenance problem occurs, we are witnessing a transformative time in electronics— the era of smart devices that connect, communicate and inform.

SMARTCONNECTIVITY

BIG DATA

Three defining trends—Big Data, Smart Connectivity, and the future User Experience, require that innovation reaches beyond traditional hardware and software development. Modern R&D strategies for technology companies must holistically consider and incorporate multiple domain disciplines ranging from software technology and industrial design to human psychology and socio-cultural influences such as music, art and literature.
