数字传感器、通信、计算和存储的进步创造了大量的数据，捕获了对商业、科学、政府和社会有价值的信息。例如，搜索引擎公司，如谷歌，雅虎，和微软通过获取万维网上免费提供的信息并以有用的方式提供给人们，创造了一种全新的业务。这些公司每天收集数万亿字节的数据，并不断增加新的服务，如卫星图像，驾驶方向和图像检索。这些服务的社会效益是不可估量的，改变了人们每天查找和使用信息的方式。
Advances in digital sensors, communications, computation, and storage have created huge collections of data, capturing information of value to business, science, government, and society. For example, search engine companies such as Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft have created an entirely new business by capturing the information freely available on the World Wide Web and providing it to people in useful ways. These companies collect trillions of bytes of data every day and continually add new services such as satellite images, driving directions, and image retrieval. The societal benefits of these services are immeasurable, having transformed how people find and make use of information on a daily basis.
