OPLIN 4Cast #623: The world is already being changed by real-time data
December 5th, 2018

[image: Manager Reconfiguring Industrial IoT Assets] It should come as no
surprise that the world has become data-driven. Even libraries reflect this
new reality; it's no longer unusual to see CE sessions or research papers
<https://www.google.com/search?ei=qB8FXIiQMYbCjgSciZ74CQ&q=data+driven+decision+making+libraries+continuing+education&oq=data+driven+decision+making+libraries+continuing+&gs_l=psy-ab.1.0.33i299.1658.6572..8157...0.0..0.120.1166.8j4......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i22i30j33i22i29i30j33i160.3SOOsapbm6I>
on collecting, interpreting and even delivering data in libraries. Decision
making
<https://www.proquest.com/blog/pqblog/2016/A-Librarians-Guide-to-Becoming-Data-Driven.html>,
using collected data, is now an expected norm.

While using data to drive action is no longer a new concept, it may not
have occurred to most of us that data is usually generated asynchronously.
First, the data is collected, then action is considered. What if that data
was being produced in *real time*? How would businesses, organizations and
even libraries change how they operate if their customer and patron data
was being created instantaneously?

We probably won't have to wonder much longer. Real-time data isn't coming:
it's already here and growing. Welcome to the datasphere of the
twenty-first century.

   - By 2025, nearly 30 percent of data generated will be real-time, IDC
   says
   <https://www.zdnet.com/article/by-2025-nearly-30-percent-of-data-generated-will-be-real-time-idc-says/>
   [ZDnet] "All told, of the 150 billion devices that will be connected across
   the globe in 2025, most will be creating real-time data, IDC says. The
   global datasphere is expected to grow from 23 Zettabytes (ZB) in 2017 to
   175 ZB by 2025. ...The report gives this piece of advice: 'Enterprises
   looking to provide superior customer experience and grow share must have
   data infrastructures that can meet this growth in real-time data.'"
   - China guzzles real-time data on electric-vehicle use
   <https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/China-guzzles-real-time-data-on-electric-vehicle-use>
   [Nikkei Asian Review] "The Chinese government is collecting real-time data
   on electric vehicles driving on its roads, according to recent media
   reports, a practice that could provide a leg up in the development of
   self-driving technology but may also spark concerns about privacy
   protection."

   Partners With Fox Sports To Provide Real-Time Data For Broadcasts [Forbes]
   "In the terms of the new agreement, Sportradar will be developing tools
   that enable the network to use machine learning to enhance their in-game
   and digital offerings, with a focus on incorporating real-time data into
   the normal graphics packages. It is a first for a major US broadcaster to
   embrace this new functionality and to use large-scale data analytics to
   expand statistical offerings during the flow of a sports broadcast. "
   - People tend to shower more efficiently when they have real-time data
   of their usage
   <https://www.zmescience.com/ecology/shower-more-efficiently-usage-data-042323/>
   [ZME Science] "Nevertheless, the smart meters seem to have made an
   impression on them: guests who showered using meters that provide
   instantaneous feedback used 11.4% less energy, on average, than the guests
   who did not have access to this information. As such, the study published
   in *Nature Energy* suggests that these sort of meters could cut
   residential water use. "
