I've just realised that almost everything I do at work and learned at college, is obsolete. I've just enrolled for a big data course and hoping to use the logic I have already to educate myself. I would like to say thank you Patrick, for explaining all of the queries I had so eloquently and in such a nice manner, keep up the good work!

Awesome explanation of Big Data.I liked the fact the speaker in a nutshell illustrated the progression of data being accumulated a) employees generating data b) users generating data c) machines generating data. Another fact, back in old days data was sent to processors and now processors are brought to data. This will help who would like to speak in public.

What makes your video above from the rest is that you explained big data on business strategic perspective not just in the realm of IT. I have subscribed to your presentation. Way to go, Patrick!
