The Evolution of Big Data

Abstract: Big data is still an enigma to many people. It’s a relatively new term that was only coined during the latter part of the last decade. While it is still an enigma to many people since its introduction, it’s become increasingly clear over the years that what is big data and its important to so many different firms. There’s a lot of history to study and analyse and this analysis shows how big data has improved and evolved in a very short span of time and also hints at the probable changes and modifications that would come in the near future. In this paper we conduct an in-depth review of the topic evolution of big data and identify how the usage and scope of big data evolved and changed overtime.
