| Summary: | STATE AND BIG_DATA
REVOLUTION
Our time is characterized
by the deep transformation
of the digital turn, where
the new technologies of
information, the so-called
ICT, have introduced within
the private and public
space, some definitive
changes. We are
experiencing a real
cultural revolution. What
Luciano Floridi names as
the fourth revolution, is
the era in which the Data
and their extraction,
elaboration and management
become the highest value.
The generated Data follow
an exponential flow: over
the last year, according to
some specialists, they have
become bigger than the
order of Zettabyte (1021
byte), a real record in the
globalized Western world. The new frontier of Big Data, entities hard to define, shape complex
system of data generated by instruments, sensors, Internet transactions, emails, videos, clicks and
web interactions. This process demands new challenges for our interrogations and new theoretical
needs in order to reconcile the technological complexity and our limited understanding.
