Is it at all helpful to more precisely identify what is contributing to the 
bigness in big data? In my understanding there are three components:
1. Instances of attributes - what most often gets mentioned with references to 
millions of rows of data
2. The number of attributes - some times these millions of rows of data pertain 
to only a few dozen columns
3. The 'thing' these attributes are describing - it seems to me this 'thing' is 
addressed less often  (05)
If we are to learn from the past:
1. Computing power will continue to increase making the number of instances a 
trivial matter
2. Our ability to model the increasing number of attributes will continue to 
evolve as the statistical and computer sciences pursue mutually beneficial 
goals through new algorithms
3. Which brings me back to the 'thing,' which I believe lies under the purview 
of logicians and our ability to understand the world -- Dale K. Fitch.
