I agree with you - extracting insights from data is a big challenge and those who figure it out are poised to reap pretty big rewards. AW Hey Alok, thanks a lot for your comments.

Am a big fan! Building a platform and company with eCommerce and payments experts that helps retailers leverage real-time predictive modeling capabilities to flip these data challenges into opportunities. My favorite statistic is from a McKinsey paper on Big Data [7] - we have been generating more data than we have storage for as of 2007, and the gap has been widening ever since. This only points to an urgent and growing need for extracting insights from data in real-time. Spot on with your insights. Insightful post with great data (no pun intended). Am a big fan!

]]> Comment on Cognitive surpluses and deficits by A J Marr http://anthonydwilliams.com/2010/08/23/cognitive-surpluses-and-deficits/comment-page-1/#comment-84663 A J Marr Sat, 25 Feb 2012 23:14:17 +0000 http://anthonydwilliams.com/?p=918#comment-84663 If fault is to be found with Shirky and Carr, as well as almost all other internet pundits on information overload, it is in their premises, not their conclusions. Almost all hold the implicit assumption that humans are sensitive to information as static facts. However, if informed by the most recent findings from affective neuroscience on human decision making, this position cannot be true. Specifically, Shirky and Carr (and nearly all of their peers) hold to positions that are not neurally realistic, and would have to abandon much of their opinions (and specifically the reality of information overload) if they were informed by the recent findings in affective neuroscience on how human minds actually process and choose information. Surprisingly, this argument can be made quite simply, and is made (link below) using an allegory of the Boston Red Sox pennant run over the years. http://mezmer.blogspot.com/2012/02/searching-for-red-stockings-myth-of.html (Alas, my argument at three pages is a bit long for a comments section, but perhaps not as a link.)

Also if I recall, Newton did not want to give Hooke any credit for the theory of gravitation. It is well known that Robert Hooke had a dibilitating disease of the spine causing him to be hunchbacked.
