As Big Data Explodes, Are You Ready For Yottabytes? - A Paper by John Foley

The online paper by John Foley, ORACLE entitled "As Big Data Explodes, Are You Ready For Yottabytes?" is required reading to understand Big city data, the impact it will have and the actual size we are talking about.

There are several links to other papers, which give depth to the subject, but I started making notes and went for over an hour just following up links, key words and concepts.

You might think just what has this to do with Architecture and the Architectural Technologist, well we are the detailers, the designers of materials and their use, as we head further into BIM and the data it can generate, and the way this data can interact and generate its own data, ,,,,, need I go on, its a subject we need to understand now.
