Precise Life in Big Data Reading Answers

①Everything is interconnected, and there is no computing anywhere. Because of the popularity of the Internet, cell phones, wireless sensors, real-time monitoring, remote collaboration, SOHO work, data management has become a commonplace, information like water and electricity through the network supply bubbling transmission, the computer tangible data into intangible wealth, in-depth and benefit to real life.

② This marks the opening of the era of cloud computing and big data. Intelligent management, social networking sites, Internet of Things, IPv6, when the new technology into the life of the wind as fast as, we are like riding on a high-speed train, before we can see the scenery outside the window, has been whistled across the next platform. The application of big data to health management almost characterizes all the features of the new media technology: electronic records are highly personalized; artificial intelligence helps us to segment information; remote collaborative recording of users' behavioral patterns; and data mining predicts people's future needs. And the emergence of smart terminals and "wearable" computing devices, more behavior, location, physiological data and other subtle changes to become a record and analysis of the precise object.

③ Although the term "big data" is not new, society's understanding of the value of big data is still deepening. 1980s, the Americans first put forward this concept. Scientists at Yahoo discovered that thanks to the development of computer technology and massive databases, the activities of individuals in the real world could be recorded like never before. With the updating of new media technologies, today, the concept of Big Data is gradually expanding to cover all the information provided from digital images, news followers, text transcripts, video documents, and social platform interactions. Not only that, it is also seen as a capability that has triggered profound concerns at the social and national strategic levels.

④ The "bigness" of big data lies not only in its capacity, but also in society's understanding of its value: in the post-information environment reshaped by big data, a world of mass production, sharing, and application of data has emerged. As scholar Viktor Mayer Sch?nberg put it, its true value is like an iceberg floating in the ocean, with only the tip visible at first glance, and the vast majority hidden beneath the surface.

⑤ But even so, some of the changes that big data has brought to society are clearly visible. From Google's epidemiological analysis system to the data query terminals for Shenyang Hunnan residents, information-based innovation has become the precursor of service, connecting people's livelihoods, and can help a wider range of the general public; cloud computing-based information storage, sharing and mining means to promote the exchange, integration, and analysis of data, which can help people to discover new knowledge and create new value; as a source of new inventions and new services, big data also affects the differentiation of traditional disciplinary research and changes people's value orientation, knowledge structure and lifestyle. Some scholars compare big data to a microscope and dashboard for observing human's own social behavior. And we see that this new measurement tool, once again, leads to new prosperity and provides people with more choices.

⑥ As a powerful engine for unlocking value and conquering data, more changes brought by big data are poised to happen. Standing at the forefront of innovation, competition and productivity improvement, pondering the 'significance of big data for life, how to transform data and information into knowledge, expand human rationality, and realize the leap of technology and intelligent services? How to avoid risks and meet the challenges it poses to the world of management? How to use the power of Big Data to push human observation and understanding to "precision" and derive effective solutions? The answer lies in the interplay of human intelligence.

Reference Answer:

1. It can help a wider range of the general public; it can help people discover new knowledge and create new value; it changes people's value orientation, knowledge structure and lifestyle.

2. (1 points) The real value of big data is compared to "icebergs floating in the ocean", which is a concrete image of its huge value has not been discovered and needs to be further developed. (2 points).

3. Can not be deleted. Because "almost" is very close, almost the meaning of the description of "big data applied to health management" almost "characterize all the characteristics of the technical aspects of the new media", after deletion The statement is too absolute, not in line with the facts, reflecting the description of the language is accurate, strict characteristics.
