Abstract: 

In today's data and information centered world, data is associated with everything we do, everything we earn, own and trade, and everything we communicate through electronic media. With the low cost of storing data, very little data is being deleted or even updated, rather data continues to be appended with increasing data redundancies and conflicts as a result. Mining data for actionable intelligence is becoming increasingly challenging creating a high demand for data scientists with advanced analytical skills. With the deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT), we expect to see a further increase in the amount of data being accumulated demanding a new paradigm for how we manage data. In this talk we look at historical trends in data storage and how data management has changed over the course of history.  We discuss the challenges we face as the technology for data storage is becoming limited by physical constraints struggling to keep up with the increase in data accumulation.
