From the Ted Talk by Kenneth Cukier: Big data is better data
Unscramble the Blue Letters
Big data is going to transform how we live, how we work and how we think. It is going to help us manage our ceaerrs and lead lives of satisfaction and hope and happiness and health, but in the past, we've often lkeood at information technology and our eyes have only seen the T, the thgncoeoly, the hardware, because that's what was physical. We now need to recast our gaze at the I, the iomfniraotn, which is less aparepnt, but in some ways a lot more iamrntopt. Humanity can finally learn from the information that it can collect, as part of our timeless quest to understand the world and our place in it, and that's why big data is a big deal.

Big data is going to transform how we live, how we work and how we think. It is going to help us manage our careers and lead lives of satisfaction and hope and happiness and health, but in the past, we've often looked at information technology and our eyes have only seen the T, the technology, the hardware, because that's what was physical. We now need to recast our gaze at the I, the information, which is less apparent, but in some ways a lot more important. Humanity can finally learn from the information that it can collect, as part of our timeless quest to understand the world and our place in it, and that's why big data is a big deal.
