Yesterday we talked about the massive amounts of data available from the Internet of Internets: unstructured information from the Content Web, relational correlations from the Social Web, real-time and interrupt-driven data from the Internet of Things, and structured data from the Internet of Data.
All these sources of data would be meaningless if we couldn’t (or couldn’t afford to) do anything with that flow of information. Thankfully, networks and nodes are enjoying tremendous advances providing always increasing performance and declining costs.
