An individual that uses usually free but sometimes paid services like search engines, social media platforms, streaming services, cloud storage for photos and videos, apps on smart phones, and carries a smart phone with them everywhere they go. The companies offer these services have exploitative EULA's and terms of use, which enables them to take the massive amount of private information/data a user generates, sell it to whoever thinks they can extrapolate something from it or sell it again for profit all while the user really gets nothing from the sales of their personal data and constant violation of their privacy other than using said "free" service. Additionally while using these "free" services, in addition to having their data sold/privacy constantly violated, a user's personal time is usually monetized by constantly showing them advertisements.

I've got Data Guilt. I'm embarrassed every time I run a report. I'm afraid to ask my team to clean up our Salesforce - our data is so much worse than the customer service system's data.

The confident energy emitted by businesses harnessing their big data (large quantities of incoming and outgoing data) through data analytics & visualization and don't have to tell anyone about it. The energy speaks for itself. The big D energy tells its own story of bold, informed decisions. Every business strives for big D energy. Only a few possess such a gift. Businesses with big D energy possess qualities such as a competitive advantage, stickiness, being future-proof, and having the ability to easily pinpoint their pain points and monetize their data.
Wow, that business has Big Data Energy and is flourishing, because its management makes real-time, informed decisions. They must have Big D Insights dashboards!
