Since the First Industrial Revolution, and through the second and Third Industrial Revolutions, media development cannot be isolated from the development of the ways in which information and data is transmitted, whether it is big, medium or even simple data.<\/p>\n

I may disagree with some who describe today\u2019s big data as a product of the techniques of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, or that it is limited to only the current century and the coming decades.<\/p>\n

The History OF Big Data<\/span><\/h2>\n

Big Data always existed, from the past; the first Industrial Revolution had created a huge data, compared to world population at that time \u201cbillion people\u201d. The first industrial revolution that first surfaced in Britain left behind big data, which the world could not access at that time.<\/p>\n

For example, the number of machines that were manufactured; how much they contributed to reducing human labour, how much they contributed to increasing production, what is the nature of those machines, and what are the energy sources stored in the ground \u2014 oil and gas or others? Big and huge data had been hidden from the world for many years, which made Britain lead the world economies at that time.<\/p>\n
