What is the adage that its not the size of the data that matters but how you integrate from the source to the target? Something like that. Anyway, Forbes online has pulled together a nice piece called “A Very Short History of Data Science” that tracks the evolution from John W. Tukey’s “The Future of Data Analysis” in 1962 through the Database Marketing movement of the 80’s and 90’s all the way to the modern data Big Data Bubble.
It’s a very nice piece written by Gil Press a contributor to Forbes and the Managing Partner at gPress, a marketing, publishing, and research consultancy. Gill spent a lot of years at EMC so his perspective is worth your attention. He also blogs at What’s the Big Data and tweets @GilPress.
