The rising importance of big-data computing stems from advances in many different technologies. Some of these include:

• Sensors
• Computer networks
• Data storage
• Cluster computer systems
• Cloud computing facilities
• Data analysis algorithms

How does these technologies play a role in global computing and big data?

Please make your initial post and two response posts substantive. A substantive post will do at least two of the following:

• Ask an interesting, thoughtful question pertaining to the topic
• Answer a question (in detail) posted by another student or the instructor
• Provide extensive additional information on the topic
• Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
• Share an applicable personal experience
• Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.

I will be able to share the 2 posts from other students after I post my assignment. I will be providing extra time for responses to those 2 responses. ~125-150 words per post should be fine.
