Qualcomm and Big Data
·
Qualcomm stole a march on most of the hyperbole by unveiling the Gimbal. This SDK will make it easy to talk to every possible sensor and as Robert Scoble argues, will push us further to the contextual age. No more atomic transactions or context switches, try fluidity on for size.
The sensors may mean a host of things. From being a standalone to being context aware is a huge paradigm shift but I am not sure if this is the inflection point that we have long been rooting for. All this implies, at least in the medium term is that there is going to be an even bigger explosion of Big Data. Big Data is about to become huge and it will be fueled by consumers. Throwing darts in the dark will actually have more information on the game just by your random hits and misses. So whether or not this is the age of context or not, the winners at least for now look poised to survive based on their ability to promise the extraction of wealth from the sheer explosion of data that we find everywhere.
