Modern day version of Big Brother. Online searches, store purchases, Facebook posts, Tweets or Foursquare check-ins, cell phone usage, etc. is creating a flood of data that, when organized and categorized and analyzed, reveals trends and habits about ourselves and society at large.
Search engines and marketing companies have gathered and sorted 90% of all information on our habits ever created by our species in just the past 2 years and 10% of all photographs taken in the history of cameras and videos where taken in 2011 all from the electronic devices which we are either unable or unwilling to live without.

Girl: Hey did you see those crazy photos I posted on Facebook? Sexy, right?
Boy: No.
Girl: No? I tweeted them and sexted them to you too.
Boy: I'm trying to stay off the grid.
Girl: What on Earth for?!
Boy: Because Big Data is watching, that's why, and I don't I don't want the government knowing my business!
Girl: You're weird.
Boy: And you're just another rat in the maze.

Being the target of big data. Doing a Google search for something and then being sent targeted ads for that thing for a month.
She got big dataed, she went to target and got a coupon for a pregnancy test. They knew she was pregnant before she did.

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!

A technique of modifying historical data to magically contain data it used to not have, so that you can avoid blame about not having the right data in the first place.
Funny how when I complained about the zip-codes all bring blank from last year, then it all suddenly appeared! Must be Big Data Gaslighting.
