All our online actions generate data. Even if we don’t write posts, comment, or upload other content, we leave our traces by being silent observers. This leads to predictable results – according to Statista, the amount of data generated globally is expected to surpass 180 zettabytes in 2025. On the one hand, having many resources to make data-based decisions is brilliant. What’s a bit limiting: Most generated data is unstructured data, and such datasets have no predetermined model.
For better or for worse, by 2025, 80% of all data will be unstructured, according to IDC predictions. And that’s the key reason we need to learn how to work with unstructured datasets.
