Introduction: Use of Data In Our Lives

From the beginning of time, the way that information has been collected, organized and analyzed has developed. I'm the past century, our methods for all of these things have developed immensely and now drive our daily lives - I challenge you to find five activities you do daily that haven't been improved by use of data. From unbeatable chess engines to IBMs Watson and self-driving cars, the world is growing quickly in these types of areas.


Business school has taught me uses for information that I had never dreamed of. As I complete the last few classes of my MBA, the way I view virtually all decisions, work and personal comes down to data analysis. That being said, I think it will be an enjoyable to analyze how data affects the layman a daily decision making. Many of the topics I write about will be regarding activities that the average American does daily but may not realize has become data-driven. After all, the collection, organization and analysis of data all is geared towards allowing us to make better decisions, therefore seeing how these concepts relates to the average person can teach us something new.
