HISTORY OF DATA SCIENCES
The term “Data Science” was created in the early 1960s to describe a new profession that would support the understanding and interpretation of the large amounts of data which was being amassed at the time. (At the time, there was no way of predicting the truly massive amounts of data over the next fifty years.) Data Science continues to evolve as a discipline using computer science and statistical methodology to make useful predictions and gain insights in a wide range of fields. While Data Science is used in areas such as astronomy and medicine, it is also used in business to help make smarter decisions.
Future of Data Science
Data Science is useful in healthcare, banking, eCommerce, transportation, and logistics. With big data and more data sources, businesses want to use data to make better choices. Data science allows strategic decision-making by analyzing enormous volumes of data and extracting insights. Data science can also help innovate and build new goods and services.
