The key aspect of the future of this high potential big data industry lies in the “I” factor, representing innovation, intelligence and ideas. We daresay that the jobs our kids or grandkids aspire to will be very different from what we dreamt of in our childhood, whether in terms of the job scope or the qualifications you would need to perform those jobs. We have smartphones capable of being programmed with several customised alarms, mechanised curtain systems, rudimentary versions of our dream smart coffeemakers and self-driving vehicles that are already plying the roads of a number of countries.Ĭhew on that as you ponder how this explosion of data will create a range of job opportunities for the 21st century and beyond - not just in data analytics but in other occupations that arise as an offshoot to the creation of new products and services based on the information acquired from this data.
As it is today, a number of the innovations listed above already exist, in some form or other, and are in use. This may sound like the stuff of science fiction but, with the growing prominence and ubiquity of big data analytics and the internet of things, it’s not a very far-fetched scenario. You grab your coffee and settle into your car, which then self-drives you to your office using the most efficient route for that particular day and time.
Your coffeemaker whips up your favourite caffeinated beverage - to your preferred temperature - as you get ready for work in an automated shower and smart walk-in wardrobe that picks out a suitable outfit for your day’s schedule. PICTURE this - your phone wakes you with a pre-set alarm of your choice and flashes the top news of the day on a holographic display, as your shades automatically retract to let in the morning sun.
