Monday night
The Age Of Big Data
8.30pm - 9.30pm
SBS ONE
Tonight
Every day we produce more data than the human race did from the dawn
of civilisation until the year 2000. Twitter, search engines,
scientific experiments, stock markets - these colossal databases can
be mined for valuable, sometimes mind-blowing, insights using the
most sophisticated algorithms ever created. This documentary explores
how scientists are using technology and innovation to search data.
From the police department who are using an algorithm to predict
where crime will strike next, to a mobile phone app that knows that
you are unwell before you do, to the man whose $5.5 billion hedge
fund uses cosmologists, code breakers and particle physicists to
inform decisions.

Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how
do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
~Margaret Atwood, writer
