Historical Developments of Big data

 Big data dates back to the 60/70s when computers were first introduced for data processing. However, in the 90s the term big data was used to describe the growing value of data (volume, variety and velocity) 

In the early 2000s, the introduction of the internet and increase of people having devices meant a massive increase in the amount of data being generated and collected, in turn created new tools and technologies to collect and analyse the data.

In 2004, google introduced MapReduce which allowed large scale data processing on distributed systems using commodity hardware. This tech became the starting point for Hadoop which is an open source platforms for data storage and processing which released in 2006.
