Data is undoubtedly the most valuable asset of our society. It captures our entire understanding of mankind, space, nature, and learnings from all our existence. In modern days, we have developed tools and methods to understand that data for path-breaking discoveries in medicine, space, machine, and so on. Now, in the 21st century, we are ready to use the technology and data to catapult mankind into the data age. It is not an exaggeration in any sense, just compare how our life is different from our grandparents’ life, and you would see how technology and data have changed the way we live and work.
"In ancient times land was the most important asset in the world. In the modern era, machines and factories became more important than land. In the twenty-first century, however, data will eclipse both land and machinery as the most important asset."
- Yuval Noah Harari
