Explanation: Big data is a term for data sets that are so large or complex that traditional data processing application software are
inadequate to deal with them. Big Data is used to improve our homes, cities and countries by e.g. optimizing the heating or lighting in
our homes, the traffic flow in our cities, or the energy grit across the country. Police forces and security agencies use big data to
prevent cyber-attacks, detect credit card fraud, foil terrorism and even predict criminal activity.
