Or that used to be the case, more than likely nowadays we are looking at multiple haystacks of data. Some of those will be kind to us and have some form of structure, most will not. It is said that by the year 2020, the amount of digital data will breach 40 zettabytes. We all know some form of structured data–from banking records and medical records to inventory stock lists. The data within each cell for instance will be formatted in a single fashion (think a UPC code or serial number) and it can only ever be that format. Unstructured data on the other hand is structured data’s unruly cousin Eddy. It will contain some bit of information that you need, but it will not be in a well-defined field nor will it be consistently formatted throughout. Now imagine taking the structured data and trying to link it via one of its edges to the table of cousin Eddy data. You would end up just as crazy as Clark.

We have seen many things take off this past year and talked about some pretty cool tech topics, IoT (Internet of Things), Data Visualization, Scaling Cloud Platforms and the Evolution of Cyber just to name a few. This year we hope to bring you even more insight into tech trends and happenings. To kick off this year, let’s touch on something you are probably already a little familiar with, but that we believe will take off even more so over the next 1-2 years. That is embedded voice services, such as Google Assistant, Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana and Apple’s SIRI. We all have some experience with each of these, but the topic here is not the use of, but rather the expansion of their use across new platforms.

Back in the early days of programming, programmers had few choices when it came to programming languages. Times have certainly changed. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Spectrum regularly ranks the top languages, and in 2017, they ranked the top 48 languages based on popularity. The languages ranged from Python in the number one spot, to ActionScript (a version of Flash) taking the number forty-eight spot.

Many of us took some time last month to cheer on the red, white, and blue as American athletes competed on the world stage. We felt a huge sense of pride as they donned old glory in victory during the 2018 Winter Olympics, hosted in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Historically, the Olympics have been the venue for hosting countries to showcase just how advanced they are with technology. Nearly 10 years ago, China used the 2008 Summer Olympics to boast how technologically advanced the China Next Generation Internet (CNGI) network was with its use of IPv6 during the games.
