21 Impact of Big Data on my life

The idea of Big Data, or that we are surrounded by a lot of correct and incorrct information, is something that impacts our lives probably more than we think. All day between tv and other social media people are having information constantly shown to them that may or may not be true. Think of all of the articles that people post to thier walla on facebook. You want to believe most of the articles that you read but how do you know if any of them are actually true. In this way, sometimes the massive amount of data that we can access is bad because with so much information on a single topic, it could be hard to distinguish between whats true and what is not. For this paper alone it was inportant to look at the sources that author's of the articles that I used, pulled from. Some people on the internet could have articles that sound scholarly, but maybe they havn't done their research yet. Anyone can post on the internet.
