When people need to make important decisions, one of their first steps is usually to collect information about the issue at hand. And the more crucial the decision is, the more information people or businesses and organizations usually want.     1     computers are capable of collecting and analyzing far more information than human beings, it makes sense that organizations would use them for this purpose. This use and analysis of large amounts of information is known as big data.

To decide if data sets count as big data, they are evaluated using three standards,     2     (know) as “the three Vs.” The first is volume: Big data involves large amounts of data, most of     3     comes without structure or organization. The second is velocity meaning speed: Big data is received quickly because it often reaches the programs that use it directly from the internet. Many of these programs     4     (design) to adapt to changes in the data quickly as well. Finally, big data offers     5     (great) variety than traditional data, including more unstructured data. Because of the three Vs, human analysts can only work with big data with the help of computer programs designed to manage it.

Businesses can use big data to help understand their customers, either as a group or individually. For example, some     6     (stream) websites rely on big data to suggest music or television offerings tailored to the user’s interests. Big data can also help companies decide how much inventory (库存) they need so that they don’t waste money producing and storing products that customers     7     not buy.

In healthcare, programmers     8     (develop) tools to help doctors and patients to make medical decisions using big data. This can process information about specific patients from at-home medical devices such as heart-rate monitors.

Governments can use big data     9     (plan) efficient public transportation systems and identify roads that need maintenance. When used for this purpose, big data is not controversial. But some oppose other uses of big data by governments     10     they might impact on citizens’ privacy in an attempt to control behavior.

Big data can be a useful tool for many types of organizations that seek to use it to make better decisions to benefit people.
